Meta vs Uber Engineering Manager
Got an offer for Uber L5B (EM2) and Meta M1. Similar total comp. I’m seeking advice on which company to go with. Disregarding comp, which company should I go with and why? Im looking for info about culture, wlb, type of work, growth, etc. Thanks! Offers: low 600s since I’ll be working remotely in a lower tier location. About 225k base and 1M stocks. Meta’s total RSU was higher but Uber does front load. I have not negotiated, but that’s not the point of this post. Tc 450
Meta
Uber
Why?
Meta is a sinking 🚢
@op what’s your offer? Also I am in similar situation between few other companies and I didn’t consider Uber to even interview, if that helps you. We can discuss on DM too
Depends, what are you looking for? How much are you willing to work? Which team seems more interesting? From what I’ve heard Meta is hectic, competitive, and political. Expect to work at least 50+ stressful hours while being mired in politics. Uber has mostly great WLB and is not as political. Personally I’d pick Uber easily. Btw 450k is low for L5B.
Who told you Uber is not political and stressful? Are you a EM at Uber?
I’m not an EM. It’s not *as* political. Every big company is somewhat political. Meta is political to the point where many of my IC E5 friends there are aware of the politics. That is not the case at Uber. I know people who have left Meta because of politics. All eng I know at Meta have complained about the stress and bad WLB compared to Uber.
Add offer salary details so u can get right advice
Meta cuz Uber will have another round of layoff soon 😂 Uber is understaffed
confusing 🤔
I did work at Uber and I avoid it for Dara
Uber. Look for continued growth in scope and level all things considered
Are you on a visa?
Meta no brainer
