Business Outlook

Pros

Working at Uber is really fun and rewarding. It's a very organised environment, with clear projects and outcomes. All projects go through ideation, execution and result measuring - which clearly shows how your work has an impact on the overall business. Colleagues are in general friendly and very competent. Code is held to a high standard and we are expected to do what's right, not what's quick. Long term velocity is prioritised over short term gains.

Cons

Sometimes it may seem a bit too bureaucratic - as we need to document well our work. Not as fast as a startup anymore.

Pros

The compensation package is incredible.

Cons

The compensation is often called the golden handcuffs. They throw a lot your way and expect the same back. Not really a con, just a realistic word of wisdom.

Great tech company to work for

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, quite good work life balance although engineering teams have on-call duty which can be very stressful. Good growth opportunities, a lot of autonomy and freedom to choose what you want to work on. Smart colleagues, nice office with great lunch (Amsterdam).

Cons

On-call duty in engineering teams. High turnover in management roles. Uber doesn't seem to be doing well as a public company so a lot of uncertainty. It's a very fast moving company, the engineering teams are more on the senior side so it's a tough place for new grads. A lot of autonomy and independence is expected from engineers pretty much from day one.
