The work culture at the company is very much shaped by individual efforts. You can build strong social connections with colleagues at Uber, both within and outside your team, and seek mentorship and career guidance from them when direct support from management is lacking. The company offers good benefits and compensation.
There is a lack of clarity and openness in how performance is evaluated. Employees might face scrutiny for not being physically present in the office as frequently as their colleagues, even if they adhere to the company's remote work policy. Some managers struggle with managing their teams effectively and exhibit bias in their assessments. While one team member might not receive performance penalties for a repeated pattern of errors, another might face consequences for the same behavior. Managers might also unfairly target certain employees by avoiding or minimizing interactions with them and selectively highlighting their mistakes during performance evaluations. These issues often stem from poor emotional management, lack of adherence to established processes, and a tendency to micromanage. At Microsoft, there is a distinction between the "old Microsoft" and the "new Microsoft." The former is often associated with outdated, restrictive attitudes and a toxic work environment. Despite Uber being a relatively young company, a similar division is emerging between employees who joined before and after Travis Kalanick stepped down.
This is the normal rider-driver marketplace, not the eats one. What about stability and culture? Are people at Uber still worried about layoffs post prop-22? #uber

Ride costs are through the roof, can’t possibly compete with Uber at this point in SF. Clearly a massive liquidity problem ever since the pandemic ended - strange they haven’t corrected it with incentives yet. Is the company going under? #lyft #uber #productmanagement

They give huge incentives to drivers in India, they don't make money in India, instead they give mone...Read more

I'm currently L5 SDE at Amazon; been here for 5 years. I have an interview with Uber in two weeks. The recruiter said it was for a senior role, so I'm guessing it's for L5a.
