About
We are Uber. The go-getters. The kind of people who are relentless about our mission to help people go anywhere and get anything and earn their way. Movement is what we power. It’s our lifeblood. It runs through our veins. It’s what gets us out of bed each morning. It pushes us to constantly reimagine how we can move better. For you. For all the places you want to go. For all the things you want to get. For all the ways you want to earn. Across the entire world. In real time. At the incredible speed of now. We are a tech company that connects the physical and digital worlds to help make movement happen at the tap of a button. Because we believe in a world where movement should be accessible. So you can move and earn safely. In a way that’s sustainable for our planet. And regardless of your gender, race, religion, abilities, or sexual orientation, we champion your right to move and earn freely and without fear. Of course, we haven’t always gotten it right. But we’re not afraid of failure, because it makes us better, wiser, and stronger. And it makes us even more committed to do the right thing by our customers, local communities and cities, and our incredibly diverse set of international partners. The idea for Uber was born on a snowy night in Paris in 2008, and ever since then our DNA of reimagination and reinvention carries on. We’ve grown into a global platform powering flexible earnings and the movement of people and things in ever expanding ways. We’ve gone from connecting rides on 4 wheels to 2 wheels to 18-wheel freight deliveries. From takeout meals to daily essentials to prescription drugs to just about anything you need at any time and earning your way. From drivers with background checks to real-time verification, safety is a top priority every single day. At Uber, the pursuit of reimagination is never finished, never stops, and is always just beginning.
Values
At Uber, our core values are:
- Champion Mindset: We define a champion mindset not by our performance on the best days but by how we respond on the worst. Our ambition drives us to achieve our mission through relentless hustle, overcoming adversity, and striving to win for those we serve.
- Marketplace Magic: The marketplace comes to life during the trip, connecting drivers, couriers, riders, carriers, merchants, and their customers. We navigate the complexities of this interaction by blending algorithms with human ingenuity to create simplicity from complexity, resulting in Uber's unique magic.
- Building with Heart: We care deeply about the impact of our products on lives and communities. By putting ourselves in the shoes of those interacting with our marketplace, we build better products and perfect our craft to positively impact our partners and communities.
- Safety First: Safety is embedded in everything we do. Our relentless pursuit to enhance safety for all platform users drives us to remain an industry leader, continually challenging ourselves to improve for the benefit of the communities we serve.
- Attention to Detail: Balancing a broad perspective with attention to detail is crucial. Recognizing the important details and making small improvements can lead to significant impacts over time.
- One Uber: We work together for the greater good of Uber, supporting each other through challenges and celebrating our shared progress. By betting on something bigger than any individual or team, we ensure that our collective efforts are aligned.
- Diversity Strengthens Us: We seek out and embrace diversity in ideas, identity, ethnicity, experience, and education. Reflecting the diversity of those who connect on our platform enables us to make better decisions and achieve our mission more effectively.
- Do the Right Thing: Our guiding value is simple: do the right thing, period.
Diversity
At Uber, we believe that great minds don’t think alike, and we work to ensure that our company reflects the incredible diversity of the people who connect on our platform. We aim to create an environment that fosters a sense of belonging, community, and inclusion for our employees. We’ve asked employees over the last year, “Why Uber?” And we observed a consistent answer: it’s the opportunity to work with high-caliber peers in a supportive environment where they can be their authentic selves. We’re committed to investing in our people and holding ourselves accountable for continued progress. This year’s “People and culture” section of the ESG Report details the ways we’re working to improve accessibility for people with disabilities; the progress we’ve made for women and underrepresented populations (URP) in leadership at Uber; the actions we’ve taken for veterans and active military personnel; the partnerships we’ve developed with the LGBTQIA+ community; our engagement with civil rights stakeholders; and new approaches to improving socioeconomic mobility for people of all backgrounds.
Commitment to Military
Uber is proud to support military members, military spouses, and veterans through our commitment to the armed forces community. Veterans embody the resiliency and passion for building towards something bigger and embracing the challenge of creating a better world that makes people thrive at Uber. Our Military, Veteran, and Partner (MVP) Program offers global opportunities as you begin the next chapter in your journey—no matter where you served or supported someone who has served. We partner with armed forces communities wherever Uber has a footprint, ensuring that if you are serving, served, or married to someone who is serving or served, you are in the right place. We will work with you to set expectations, find the right role, and ensure you get the visibility you deserve. Additionally, our Veterans at Uber Employee Resource Group provides a global network for veteran outreach, camaraderie, and mentorship opportunities to drive community and change.
Internships
Uber's internship program offers university students invaluable real-world experience in a supportive environment that emphasizes mentorship and constructive feedback. Our diverse range of teams hiring includes Software Engineering, Design, Data Science, and more, providing opportunities to gain hands-on experience in various fields. For MBA students, our newly established MBA recruiting program collaborates with leading business schools worldwide to identify top candidates for both internships and full-time roles. We are actively seeking exceptional talent for positions in Product Management, Marketing, Finance, Operations, and other areas. We take pride in the fact that our MBA interns work on impactful projects with the potential to reach and benefit millions of people globally.
