Comp can be nice, depending on the stock price. Pay increases are not great
Overtime expectations, terrible management. The culture encourages engineers to chase metrics rather than do actual work.

I thought she can solve issues with diversity and culture in Uber. Where did it go wrong? https://amp.businessinsider.com/bozoma-saint-john-leaving-uber-2018-6 P.S. I think, she is hot 😳
I think I had my first encounter with one in software engineering instead of product management Are Diversity Hires a real thing or am I a racist for thinking that? Have you also had an experience that made it clear that person was a diversity hire? #swe #software #engineering #facebook #Google #...Read more

https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/uber-karen-diversity-event-sf-18112754.php Anyone here that was there and can speak about how it went? Did the event come off as more of a lecture about white women's struggles as the article suggests, and if so was that clear to attribute it to how Bo Young Lee ...Read more
I have seen that colored people are a part of diversity even if they are mixed colored whereas Indians aren't. Indians and other neighboring countries (Bangladesh, SriLanka) too have colored people. Why aren't they included in diversity? Colored people get scholarships in universities, why not Sou...Read more
Looks like there was more drama amongst senior leadership on HR and diversity recently. Is Uber a different company, or does it just merely have a different veneer? Interested in the work there but hesitant still.

Tried to represent...Read more

How do you like living in a bubble where most of your friends know how to code, and the hottest news story is who the new Uber CEO is, and whether diversity in tech is a good thing?
I've got offers (Software Engineering) from both of these companies so I'm pretty torn. Uber: 270k TC Better: 215k TC Both of these are L4 (L5 for Better, equivalent to L4 with their system). I can't negotiate either of these offers further. Obviously Uber would pay me a lot more, but I'm fairly ...Read more

(Folks this is just a FYI from an Uber engineer. This is not a PR post - this is a voice from people who feel unfairly judged to be bad people) What may seem surprising to some: Uber has a great work environment with many talented, hard working folks who are respectful to each other. And solving ha...Read more
I represent a "minority" community in tech, and I do support diversity but not at the cost of talent. Diversity or equality inclusion is critical, but it's often misused. I think it's good to have DEI at school or college level and give everyone a chance, but once any individual graduates, everyone ...Read more
