You get to work with some of the best folks in tech, at least you used to. There are interesting problems to solve at scale.
Leadership used to be highly energetic, smart people with vision. The current CEO has slowly replaced those with corporate drones with limited tech experience who can mostly run a tape loop of asking for KPIs and keep folks busy with useless tactical reviews. Innovation has basically stalled and endless slide shows of almost the tiniest details have taken over.
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?
Accepted offer from Uber. Will I be walked out if I tell my manager? Is Uber considered as competitor? 5a, 7yoe, 320k
Wondering how's Uber reacting with Grab receiving $2 billion dollars of funding. Grab is Ubers competitor in Southeast Asia
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.
Am I a traitor for leaving Uber and join its direct competitor: Lyft, given I received higher TC and title.
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
Uber is 13 times bigger than Lyft and that converting from duopoly into monopoly by simply buying out the competitor seems to be the right approach TC: 320k
And most importantly still hiring and not laying off? https://thehill.com/policy/finance/3760050-uber-ceo-says-no-job-cuts-despite-competitor-moves/ #tech #uber #faang #layoff
Very smart of Uber to launch this plus give me platinum right off the bat. Ever since Uber Rewards, I’ve stopped opening all of the competitor apps, not just Lyft, but also Doordash and Postmates and Caviar.
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.
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...Read more
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?
Uber/Lyft competitor that automatically routes your request to whichever app is either cheaper/faster at the time, for only a small fee.
Asking for a friend who works for Lyft and considering applying to Uber. Did anybody jumped ship and moved from Lyft to Uber or the other way around? Are there any restrictions that prevents you from joining the competitor? TC 200 #tech #softwareengineer #jobs
So I decided to leave Microsoft. I have offers from Uber, Google and Tower Research and I told my manager that I'll be leaving for Google. Because of the competitor policy my manager is not filling my resignation as in Microsoft India manager has to fill in the resignation to HR and he does not want...Read more
There is usually a non-compete clause in offer letters but how often and how is it enforced? Does your current company prevent you from joining your competitor by warning you when you resign and/or proceed to legal actions afterwards (or whenever they find out), or does the competitor ignore your ap...Read more
Tech is definitely taking over brick and mortar. But the race to do this is littered with failed startups that burnt investors cash. Among Ubers competitors, Waymo is on the verge of unveiling driverless taxi service. Even if it doesn't launch the service in the next four years, it's possibility wil...Read more
Upon IPO, Uber employees will be able to afford Tesla. Many will buy it. The irony is Tesla is Uber’s biggest existential threat. From Autonomy Day presentations we learned that their self-driving is way ahead of everybody else including Uber. Personally I largely agree with what they said, especial...Read more
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...Read more
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...Read more
