Why Our Team in the Philippines Loves Working at Uber

We talked to our colleagues in the Philippines to understand what makes them excited to be a part of the Uber team. Here's what they had to say about their experiences, the culture, and the impact they're making.

Teamwork and Collaboration

One of the recurring themes was the importance of teamwork. Our colleagues emphasized that success at Uber isn't about individual achievements, but about collaborative effort. As one team member put it, "It's not a one superwoman job. This is really me working with a bigger team that ensures that we get the work done." Working well with a team is crucial.

Friendship and Authenticity

Beyond just professional collaboration, genuine friendships are formed. "What keeps me at Uber are the friends that I've met along the way." The team also spoke about the importance of being able to be their authentic selves at work, creating a supportive and welcoming environment.

Supportive Leadership and Creative Opportunities

Feeling supported by leadership is a key factor in job satisfaction. The team highlighted the opportunity to pitch ideas and the support they receive from their leaders. "It's a creative outlet. We're able to pitch so many ideas. So that means that our leaders are very, very supportive. That makes me want to wake up the next day."

Growth and Development

Uber provides opportunities for growth and development, allowing employees to realize their potential. One team member shared their journey: "I started as an agent in Uber. I did that for a couple of years before I decided to become a learning specialist here at Uber. I went back to my first love, which was teaching." The sentiment was echoed, suggesting there's no limit to what can be achieved here. "It's been a journey of challenges, but each step has made me realize how far I can go and how much more there is to achieve."

Making a Real Impact

The team is dedicated to building strong connections with both customers and driverpartners. They take pride in their contributions to the wider community. "I think the main impact is to ensure that we build that connection, not just from our customer, but also with our driver partners as well. So I think that's the most impact that Community Operations can do." The impact they have is impactful, heartwarming, and bigger than themselves.

Diversity, Inclusion, and Fun

Uber in the Philippines fosters a diverse and inclusive environment, where people feel comfortable and valued. As one team member stated, it's a place "somewhere that you will not feel that you're working, because working here is also having fun."

Why Choose Uber?

Ultimately, the team believes Uber is a great place to work due to the talented people, supportive environment, and the opportunity to make a difference. "I think Uber is your best bet. Because we have the best people, we're talented, and this is the best place to work with."
