Uber Innovation
- link Uber’s path of destruction https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2019/05/ubers-path-of-destruction/ I don’t agree about the part where the article says Uber didn’t innovate anything. The taxi industry failing to modernize/innovate/use tech is the reason why Uber was born. Thoughts?
- Uber Eats Design team How’s Uber Eats design team doing? A lot of people leaving the team/company. Curious about morale/product innovation. Interviewing for a product design role with Uber. #design #interviews #designleadership
- Growing and leading at Uber What type of personality succeeds at Uber? Are leaders indexed on execution? Innovation? Vision? Communication? Politics? All of the above ?
- Review on New Senior Director at Uber India Hello Folks at Amazon/Microsoft Any reviews on good or bad is Manikandan Thangarathnam from Amazon who joined as Senior Director - Uber India ?! Looks like he has worked with the new Uber CTO https://yourstory.com/2020/11/manikandan-thangarathnam-uber-innovation-amazon #amazon #Uber #swe #India
- Sukumar simply put is bad news for Uber. AMA The new in coming CTO for Uber was a VP at Amazon. He micro managed Amazon Selection and Catalog Systems. He was supported by his close aides from Microsoft. He lacked innovation, humility and tolerance. Most probably was managed out. I worked in his organization for 3 years. #uber #amazon
- Is self driving still hopeless? Waymore CEO said they don’t expect level 5 is feasible. Uber basically failed. Tesla... don’t know much. Any other play in the field you guys know? Thought it’d be a great innovation but didn’t expect the failure came so quickly.
- Uber is going to ruin self driving cars for everyone else Already reports of running red light and not understanding bike lanes. Tesla has a head start and seems much more mature. Seems like Uber will be the first to cause a real accident and kill innovation.
- Liberal Unions just killed Uber and Lyft in California 🤦🏻♂️ Nancy's nephew, Gavin Newsom will sign this AB5 bill to destory the gig economy. Serious question.. why do people vote for these liberal Democrat policies? Its soooooo bad for Innovation. Only the rich elites will be able to afford an uber on CA now 🤦🏻♂️
- How difficult is it to get interviews for someone at noname company? Asking for my gf, she works at an oilfield service company's innovation center in bay area. It seems like it's difficult for her to land interviews at recognizable places like Snap, Uber, etc. #swe #engineering Wondering how is it like for you guys? She is frontend swe if that matters, which proba
- Any feedback on Product manager roles at Uber? Uber is going through a very tough phase right now, but I always liked their drive to innovate. I'd like to see such companies succeed. I am exploring the possibility of working there. Any advice? 'Watch outs'? Feedback? Thanks!
- Dubai start ups Anyone here aware of Dubai based start ups? I am impressed with one company, Careem which has been lately acquired by Uber. And wonder how is it like to work, innovation and pace. And any insight about pay package.#offer #tech #startup #dubai
- vote Which is a better buy $UBER or $ABNB They are both valued at around $110bn. Other than gross booking, what is a factor for a long term success of each of the businesses? Most importantly, which has more potential to expand and innovate to increase revenue? I like Uber since it seems to be less inflated than Airbnb at current levels.
- You guys suck so t Are you asleep or something? People need homes to live We need good food to be affordable. We need uber style innovation to throw out outdated regulation preventing us from considering game changing solutions. Where are the self contained smart homes that act as baby sitters and teachers for chi
- Why so much hate for Uber (and Lyft) Ok so Uber laid off 8% of the workforce. Apparently they haven't PIPed many people in recent years so this was supposed to be long overdue. But the larger point I want to make and ask all you angry negative folks is - why tf are you against ride hailing? I personally want both Uber and Lyft to succ
- Uber future? (Posting here to hear outsider opinion) Would UBER become likes of Google and Microsoft where people would line upto to find a lifelong employment - the company stays great place to work for a techie? Or would it become an operational company, surviving on margins - but not a tech innovation place.
- What do Lyft PMs do? I haven't seen Lyft making any big product innovation in the past 5 years. 1. Ride share experience remains unchanged. Their Lyft Line and safety features are Uber copycats. 2. Bicycles and scooters don't count because that was through acquisition. 3. Let's be honest. No one uses Lyft to look up

- Why do you hate Facebook? I'm curious. - recent hack of 50M access tokens, not passwords. I'm not saying it's better but media make it sound very bad. People are OK when Equifax lost 100s of million users most sensitive information - SSN - Cambridge Analytica - this was a mistake but a lot of them think that FB sold user data to CA which
- Cruise is a dumpster 🔥 Everything you read about Cruise on Blind and Glassdoor is accurate. The culture is awful. The WLB is non-existent. The tech is innovative but it doesn't work... Zero upward mobility (in fact most were recently down leveled). Avoid this place like the plague. PS - Uber and Lyft, Cruise employees
- Facebook, Google, Uber case interviews: are they like the jobs? The job interview cases expect you to be innovative, elegant, creative, moonshot even. The cases are hard and you have to prepare by studying across many topics. Yet many employees post about working on small features that don’t have any impact. Or feeling like a small cog in a big wheel. Are the
- Good tech companies in Seattle Getting very tired of the standard tech companies. I have worked at fb and amazon before. I want something new, exciting, work I love, innovative, something that will change the world. In Seattle - anywhere but Bay Area. The main cool tech I see is in transportation, thinking Uber and Tesla. Any oth

Great culture , strong engineering talent and innovation. I am curious about where their super strong engineering leade
- vote Would you rather be PM at Uber Freight vs AWS Big Data & Analytics? Why? For a senior role in PM, which of the two opportunities is more attractive to you personally? Assume both can be in SF or Seattle. - Uber Freight is standalone, probably 300 employees within Uber ATG, as part of a 20k person company - AWS is a 20k division in a 200k+ person company; not sure how bi

- What makes Airbnb so valued for SWE’s to work at? What makes AirBnB such a coveted 🦄 for Software Engineers to work at ? . Is it just that they are biggest in their market or are there any other technology innovations going on that makes it interesting to work ? For eg: Uber has such a large scale and a real challenge for implementing distribute

- vote Elizabeth Holmes guilty / innocent of fraud? I kind of feel she’s been no worse to her private investors than tons of example in tech. Teal, Uber are all much bigger companies that have misled (in my opinion) investors. Tons of startups completely abandon products that they previously claimed were successful. How many vapor ware products hav

- Ranking the SWE Technical Bars of Tech Companies I work in tech recruiting (full disclosure: recruited in the past for Google and Uber ATG) and was helping a new recruiter with getting calibrated on profiles. So, I figured I would make a list to share some top tech companies with her while she searched for top Software Engineers (SWEs). But once
- Luck X talent Just because you fell butt first in to a random startup that happened to be successful, doesn't mean you are a hot shot. Yes, you may have contributed to building the systems that worked good enough initially, the rest was built in collaboration with others. The number of people who think they are G
- Why bother buying Lyft stock? There’s a conversation across Blind and the internet about the Lyft IPO and whether it’s worthwhile to invest in their stock. The obvious risk is that this is a company that is losing a ton of money, is not the category leader and may never be in profitable. It is not inherently clear that Lyft’s bu
- Why can’t you get paid for side projects on H1B? I understand it’s a specialty occupation and you get a visa for a specific set of skills. But why can’t you get paid for things on the side if they’re related to your specific set of skills that got you on the visa? I’m not intending to drive an Uber or wok as a busboy on the side. I actually have

- Why do I fail EM interviews? I have interviewed at goog and FB twice over the last 4 years. At Uber, Snap, Tableau, DropBox, Stripe, Apple. I didnt make any of them.

- How did they get there!? Becoming a CEO in a major tech company. Hi everyone, I've worked in many of the famous tech companies (Fb and Google) and now at Uber. I'm so disappointed at the tech leadership (they've all reached a ceiling in terms of innovation). HR is also a joke at these places. Most people get stuck at their current level and no one is truly motiv

- vote Uber SF vs Amazon Seattle New grad, similar offers. SWE. Where to go? I think Amazon does some really awesome things as a company and that's exciting, at the same time I wouldn't like to enter a "hateful" environment and reading on Blind seems like that might be the case. Uber seems fun since it's in an earlier stage. That
