Uber is a technology company whose mission is to reimagine the way the world moves for the better. Our technology helps us develop and maintain multisided platforms that match consumers looking for rides and independent providers of ride services, as well as with other forms of transportation, including public transit, bikes, and scooters.
We also connect consumers and restaurants, grocers, and other merchants so they can buy and sell meals, groceries, and other items, then we match them with independent delivery service providers. Plus, Uber connects shippers and carriers in the freight industry. Our technology helps people connect and move in over 70 countries and 10,000 cities around the world.
We believe that everyone should be empowered to move freely and safely—physically, economically, and socially. To do that, we must fight racism and be a champion for full equity, both inside our company and on our platform. We must use our global reach, our technology, our data—and, importantly, our voice—to help create a safer, more inclusive company and to be a strong ally to all the communities we serve.
The year 2020 was incredibly challenging, as Uber and society more broadly grappled with the health and economic impacts of a pandemic and a global reckoning on race. The devastating impacts were not felt evenly, as COVID brought into sharp realization the inequities that have persisted in society for far too long. Through it all, Uber has worked to support our employees, our cities, and the riders, drivers, delivery people, restaurants, and merchants who use our platform to connect with work and commerce.
Creating greater equity is one of the 6 company-wide priorities established by our CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, for 2021. This means increasing demographic diversity at Uber and becoming a more actively anti-racist company and ally to the communities we serve. Every member of the Executive Leadership Team is doing their part to make this a reality, especially making sure their entire organization is behind this. Increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion is at the core of the company’s strategy, and commitment to it starts at the top.
At Uber we’re reimagining the way the world moves for the better. That means being bold in our decisions and building for something bigger. For us, all of that starts with helping people go anywhere and get anything: cars, takeout, motorcycles, groceries, bikes, people, scooters, items, trucks, buses. It’s what we know and what we do best. And we do it at the speed of now.
That’s why people want to join us: because our solutions are implemented in real time and on thousands of city streets, they are a boon and a career to people all over the globe. The scope of this work means Uber will challenge you - put you up against complex problems that require ambitious solutions. We need bold people who can build with heart, who will chase solutions with fearless optimism. We are Uber. Are you?
Uber’s hiring process and access resources to help you along the way.
Your first step is applying (of course). Use our job search to explore open roles and if you see something you like, hit apply. Uber moves fast, and new roles are added all the time, so check back regularly.
You’ll start the interview process by talking with a member of the Talent Acquisition team about the role and your experience. This is a general conversation about your background and skill set as they relate to the role.
We also want to know why you're interested in joining Uber, what you know about us, and your ideas for moving our business forward. It sounds obvious, but it is really important!
If the opportunity seems like a good fit, you’ll next speak with the hiring manager for the role. During this conversation, they will ask more about your experience and skills, and you’ll have an opportunity to ask detailed role-specific questions.
Use the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) method when answering the questions, and as much as possible, be data-centric in your answers. We back up most of our decisions with data, so prepare to talk about how you use data within your role.
The next step is often to meet the team and cross-functional colleagues. Interviewers will ask you various questions about core skills needed to be successful in the role. If you completed an exercise, you might be asked to do a presentation.
Our recruiters partner closely with the hiring team to review each candidate’s performance against specific job criteria. The team works together to reach a decision and your recruiter will be in touch about the outcome. Fingers crossed!
We're partnering with NGOs, advocacy groups, and environmental justice organizations to help expedite a clean and just energy transition. Uber is committing to becoming a fully electric, zero-emission platform by 2040, with 100% of rides taking place in zero-emission vehicles, on public transit, or with micro mobility. It is our responsibility as the largest mobility platform in the world to more aggressively tackle the challenge of climate change. We will do this by offering riders more ways to ride green, helping drivers go electric, making transparency a priority and partnering with NGOs and the private sector to help expedite a clean and just energy transition.
