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.
The staff are generally nice and "family-like" and the office is pretty nice for a smaller company when not in a pandemic.
Promotions in title and compensation are almost entirely tied to just time at the company but promotion in responsibility is much quicker. The company hires for roles in areas that they still clearly don't understand.

Unvested RSU converted to Au...Read more
Does anyone know what’s happening in Uber ATG? Are they going to have a large layoff ? Or are they going to be shutdown ?
Rumor? Because Uber ATG could not bring in much revenue yet with clear picture.#layoff To preserve cash, it will be gone with some engineers move to other teams and rest will be let go. Other dept engineers are affected less. Disclaim: insider told me, could not disclose the source.

What's it like working at Uber nowadays? 2020 was a big shakeup for Uber due to mass layoffs, doubling down on Eats, Postmates acquisition, and the axing of ATG and other divisions. Dara also should have had enough time by now to sink his claws in and remove Travis's traces from Uber. YOE: intern...Read more
