I'm expecting offers from Uber (SDE-1, L3) as well as from Goldman Sachs (Analyst). Would like to know about work culture, work-life balance, career growth in software industry and also PIP/Layoff culture at these companies. P.S. I got pipped from Amazon as a fresh graduate in just 7 months. I was comparatively worse than others, but surely wasn't shit. I was also ramping up real quick. I really want to avoid PIP at any cost. Any advice on where to join will be much appreciated. P.S. I don't have the official offers yet. So can't mention the exact figures. Last TC: INR 16.5 LPA + Shares vested over 4 years. YoE: 1.6 #engineering #software #swe #uber #goldman #goldmansachs #uberlayoffs #uberpip #goldmanlayoffs #goldmanpip
Goldman has the best job security out of these 3. Working hours are long at all 3 unfortunately.
Thanks for the input Google. Would you like to share some insights regarding career growth as well? That'd be really helpful :)
Working with banks in early career days might be a career suicide (unless you really love banking more than tech).
PIP@Amazon >>>> PIP@Uber >= PIP@ GS
There is no PIP Quota at Uber, although I hear there exists a pre pip for bottom performers at Uber which is forced curve fitting
How're layoffs at Uber? I heard a lot of layoffs took place in 2020. Do they just fire bottom performers "just like that" instead of PIP?
