Infrastructure in a major international online service, I bet WLB is fantastic
Core infra here. WLB at Uber is just fine. It’s a lot of work, but it’s generally quite rewarding work and you decide on your own ambitions.
I see, how is the stress? Is there too much pressure to perform?
Not that I’ve experienced. However I like keeping busy. I am, however, able to enjoy my family and two kids just fine. I really don’t think the WLB is bad. It’s not a 9 to 5 kinda job, don’t get me wrong, it’s more of a lifestyle :)
It's a big org IIRC. From my experience talking to people and interviewing there, I felt the culture and people in Uber are much better. I definitely enjoyed talking to Uber folks more than Amazon...both technically and in general. Obviously, things can vary with team.
