Uber employees are feeling better about their employer and their own work, according to a new leaked employee survey.

The poll is conducted every six months and this latest one is from October, according to Business Insider, who first reported on the leaked answers to 35 questions the workers answered. The results are favorable/positive, neutral or negative and the responses are compared to those from the previous employee survey.

For example, of the 18,648 Uber employees who participated in the poll, here's the percentage that answered the following questions favorably, according to Business Insider:

I believe that Uber is in a position to succeed over the next two years -- 83 percent

I feel heard by my manager -- 73 percent

I feel secure about my job -- 66 percent

I feel fairly treated -- 63 percent

Uber acts in a socially responsible way -- 63 percent

I feel the work I'm doing is meaningful and impactful -- 63 percent

I have access to the learning and development needed to do my job well -- 60 percent

I feel excited to come to work every day -- 58 percent

I see myself working at Uber in two years' time -- 56 percent

I am able to manage my work stress in a healthy way -- 56 percent

Even if offered a competitive offer or external career opportunity, I would choose to stay at Uber -- 45 percent

I believe my total compensation (base salary, bonuses, benefits, equity) is fair, relative to similar roles at other companies -- 40 percent

All those positive replies were up from the previous survey.

But some questions posed to employees garnered fewer positive responses than they did last time, Business Insider reported:

I am passionate about Uber's mission -- 77 percent

I feel I can report ethical or compliance violations without fear of retaliation -- 71 percent

I have seen positive culture change take place at Uber over the past six months -- 62 percent

Uber did not respond to requests for comment.

The company behind the popular ride-hailing app has previously come under fire from employees who feel they aren't paid well enough.

Also casting a shadow were allegations that Uber was a toxic work environment for women and that some of its aggressive business tactics may have been illegal. Amid that, co-founder and CEO Travis Kalanick resigned in June 2017.

And this summer, Reuters reported that Uber employees of color complained that the company's human resources department head, Liane Hornsey, and her staff ignored reports of racism. She quit abruptly after an investigation.

Uber is poised for an initial public offering that some estimates put as high as $120 billion, placing it in a race with Lyft to be the first ride-hailing company to go public.
