Is now a right time to join Uber? Anyone from Uber could help with my questions? 1.how does the culture change in Uber after new CEO join? 2.how is your wlb? 3. I heard Uber has no 401k match, is that true? 4. What is the TC I should expect if join as sde2 in Seattle?
1. Cultural problems were limited to one org in SF originally anyway, but the culture is pretty pleasant. There is still a lot of ‘principled confrontation’ and ‘toestepping’ which are old company values, it’s usually done with good intentions though. 2. WLB is as good as you want it, some people work 35hrs to barely get a 1.0x perf rating, others work a lot more for a higher rating and higher TC. 3. Yep, no match, maybe one day. 4. Depends on your YoE, 200 is low end, L4 is a wide band though. Once your refreshes start stacking your TC can get much higher Still a good time to join, as I’ve gotten more responsibly I’ve met more unpleasant people, every day as an SDE does feel a bit like intellectual combat which can be tiring, overall it’s a largely very positive experience though
4 sounds like small power games between people, not exactly a positive sign? what are unpleasant people like? do you worry that long timers all jump ship shortly after ipo? what would that imply for new joiners?
This is also what I am a bit concerned about. I heard rumor that people are already leaving after pre-ipo
You already missed
Not really. Most Offers on blind have been the same as from a year back.
@lanagens curious where did you see these offers on blind? I searched "uber" but didn't see a lot useful info.
