Uber Competitors
- Is Meta, Uber Microsoft’s competitors? About to turn in my 2-week notice, but don’t want to be “walked out” same day. I am debating between offers from Meta and Uber. If they are considered competitors of Microsoft, will I be walked out by my Microsoft manager?
- ex-Facebooker, is Uber considered as competitor? Accepted offer from Uber. Will I be walked out if I tell my manager? Is Uber considered as competitor? 5a, 7yoe, 320k
- Grab 2billion funding Wondering how's Uber reacting with Grab receiving $2 billion dollars of funding. Grab is Ubers competitor in Southeast Asia
- Uber options SOLD! Sold all my Uber options early this morning.. and price has gone down since.. does anyone think it will go up again? Eats seems very competitive and rideshare has many new competitors. Any insights?#investments #uber
- vote Am I a traitor for leaving Uber, join Lyft? Am I a traitor for leaving Uber and join its direct competitor: Lyft, given I received higher TC and title.
- Uber Freight? Anyone have any insights on Uber Freight? Particularly senior leadership. Work culture, traction, how independent it truly is, how it fares vs funded competitors etc.
- vote Which big tech has the most negative impact? 👿 All big techs have mean streaks, sometimes unintended consequences. My employer will score high for obvious reasons. AirBnB made cities more unaffordable for middle class, Uber squeezes drivers with below minimum wage, Microsoft used to be the big satan taking that over from IBM, Apple and Samsung s
- Has anybody went from Lyft to Uber or from Uber to Lyft Asking for a friend who works for Lyft and considering applying to Uber.

- vote Would you join a competitor? Would you join / have you joined your company’s primary competitor (I.e Uber —> Lyft or the other way around)? If so, why and did you regret it?
- vote Shots fired! Google up next. Well that didn't take long... "We have reviewed Waymo’s claims and determined them to be a baseless attempt to slow down a competitor and we look forward to vigorously defending against them in court." Can Uber put out fires on this many fronts at once? Not that there's much of a choice, I suppose
- Congratulations to Lyft Congratulations on the funding. We may be competitors but the industry has so much room to grow. If Uber legitimately makes cities and transport better, then so do you. I respect what you have built. Keep up the good work.
- Legal issues for joining a competitor company What does it mean by “competitor” really? I mean if I quit Uber and join Lyft, does it mean I’m violating the non-compete agreement (usually on the offer)? People also suggest that when quiting do not tell the employer where you are going. Can they sue you if they find out later you are working for

- vote Viewing my colleagues as competitors vs collaborating well with them? Should I view my colleagues as competitors? or be extremely collaborative and help them out? I guess it's somewhat dependent on company as well. Like in Amazon, coworkers see each other as competitors. In Uber it's team dependent and you kinda can find both teams. I am interested in knowing how it w

- non compete clause on RSU agreement I was in the interview process of amazon, and I heard that Amazon's employment contract says you can't join Amazon's competitors 18 months after leaving and everyone has to sign to be able to work at Amazon. Does Amazon's RSU agreement also have the non compete clause? What about other companies' p
- The real irony in Uber IPO Upon IPO, Uber employees will be able to afford Tesla. Many will buy it. The irony is Tesla is Uber’s biggest existential threat.

- Why Uber IPO was a flop but Airbnb IPO is blockbuster?
