Snap/Uber/Twitter still ‘day one’ company?

Hi Blinders - I’m a PM looking around right now as I am sick of the Seattle area. Apart from FB, G, some series B/C startups and ad tech/fintech, I’m also considering Snap and Uber based on where my friend / ex-coworkers went. My goal is not to maximize the comp but rather learning at this point. Im curious to hear more about what it’s like to work at Snap / Uber / Twitter from an employee/ex employee’s point of view. Snap stock has been doing super well and DAU is back up again, but I’m concerned that its TAM have been capped by FB/TikTok and international expansion has been glacial. I am not a big Snapchat user so I am not aware of anything interesting coming out of snap lately. IMO the perception is very similar to Twitter (mature and doesn’t move very fast at least prior to last week’s announcement of new features planned) The same questions go for Uber because I have the same impression since Dara took over and prepped the company for IPO. Seems like the Eats business is growing well now but are locked into an intense competition with DD (which seems to have better economics). The rideshare business is EBITDA positive (pre-covid) but also seems mature? If I recall correctly, UberFreights and Uberbus businesses have been disposed of recently so that’s a sign that Eats is the only growth area now? TC: $150k (was $180 pre cliff) YOE: almost 5, Undergrad, no masters #snap #uber #twitter #doordash #coinbase

We also tend to move pretty fast, although it depends on the team. My team delivers big new features several times a month.
