Comp. But no refresher if stock goes up. Nice sf office.
WLB. Very Top down chain of command. Keeps getting worse. Comply or get out. Losing its strong engineering and leadership
How’s uber uMetal team? In this market of diminishing bare metal servers in infra. Is the team going get purged in future? #uber
For people living in the US, how much do you regularly tip your server? This was inspired by the Uber tip thread
People in the US have normalized low wage pay and tipping as a way to fund employee salary to the extreme! This tipflation is getting out of hands. Servers are now expecting 20% as a standard tip, which is ridiculous!! Everyone is asking for a tip. Uber, doordash, hairdressers, etc. Heck, the food...Read more
As a Software Engineer laid off by Uber earlier this month, I was lucky enough to get multiple offers in a short period of time. Would love to get insights into the comparison! #layoff #uber #vmware #microsoft #applovin #softwareengineer VMWare Team - Horizon Cloud Position - MTS 3 (~SDE2) Base - ...Read more
Hi Why are no-tippers/ low-tippers frowned upon in US? Isn’t it the job of employer to pay their employees well? If I eat at an expensive restaurant as opposed to McD/ Chipotle, i am paying the premium for better food, better service by paying for expensive food. The servers/ waiters at these rest...Read more
I only have 2 YEO, and have upcoming onsite with Uber and Amazon. I will have SDI, but I don’t have any experience with backend/servers. Is it ok if I tell the interviewer in advance and just talk about the mobile architecture?
Hello Community, I have my onsite interview for SWE position coming week. I have been going through grokking for the system design. I felt very hard understanding proximity server and uber design. My question is how deep or how tough system design round going to be? Any suggestions for preparation...Read more
Let's stop bashing Uber and lyft. If they are so bad then why not fix them? How hard can it be? I am thinking from a perspective of where the money goes and in ubers case almost all of it goes to the top execs and marketing. But why do we even need them? Taxis don't advertise themselves and everyo...Read more

From what I know, it's quite common to work on an unofficial job (cashier, restaurant server, Uber driver, etc) while on an F1 visa or H1 visa while being employed only on paper at some company to not accrue unemployment days. And majority of these folks never get caught or have any action taken aga...Read more
Friggin’ unreliable app that keeps crashing or some crazy “server error”. This is worse than Windows Vista. Also I was in the mid west a while back and Grubhub was consistently cheaper and better. Uber Eats is expensive but most reliable imo. I’m not even sure if their service is as scalable inte...Read more

What are some of the best ways to prepare for Uber on-site interview given a month's time (total study about 60-80 hours)? I haven't actively interviewed in the past 2 years, so my skills have gotten rusty. I was lucky to clear phone screen without any prep. Role: Sr. SE L5 or above depending on i...Read more
Why are we still tipping, this culture has roots in racism, it was primarily to not pay African Americans after ratification of 15th amendment . We rented umbrella and beach chairs for 20$/hr , the guy casually turned the iPad for tips selections, why should I tip an umbrella setup guy , boba tea...Read more
This has been bugging me for a while. You order over a phone/business website, drive to the restaurant, pay at the counter and pick your order. The only service I get is the well packaged food (if your lucky). But while paying, server turns the screen (which is on the tip page) onto me and I feel pr...Read more
I don't mean any disrespect to people at those companies and just took examples I looked up, I just can't understand what all are doing. I see this with others too, like WeWork and Uber. Companies that are more or less one platform, employ a lot of people doing things that is not clear for the aver...Read more
Looking for quality tech shops here in India that primarily use Golang. After a few years of using it, the tooling, the integration, the profile ecosystem, the concurrency model, I can't even fathom moving to other server languages. P.S. Few stacks may be in other languages but the company should p...Read more
In Silicon Valley — where the tech sector created flashy office campuses — companies are letting their data lead the way. For example, Pinterest, Shopify, Uber, and Okta set up depth- and radar-based occupancy sensors on their office floors to track office attendance. While similar sensors have be...Read more
