Uber Eats vs Dropbox
Senior SWE at both places (5a vs IC3). Compensation not yet finalized, but expecting similar numbers. Teams: uber eats, general swe on dropbox side. Which one will you pick and why? current TC: $300k
Really tough choice because I love DropBox but because UberEats I would go Uber. My friend is an executive in the org and has told me that Eats continues to grow. Food delivery used to be Postmates, DoorDash, GrubHub, and Eats whereas now it’s very close just between Eats and DoorDash with Eats improving each quarter. I would imagine the org is going to continue getting funded quite well so there may be growth opportunities. Dropbox has a great engineering culture. So hard choice really if you go and hopefully maybe someone from both can give their 2 cents as well.
Make this a poll to get more answers. But come to UberEats, we’d love to have you
it is not a poll because i want to know "why"
God please interview more
why?
Both suck brah
Dropbox culturally and wlb is way better than uber. But as product company there are serious concerns with their offerings. So any role in dropbox should be taken cautiously. Look at their stock growth in the last 5 years. Its terrible. Uber is still yet to make any profits, but there are so many channels that the company is pursuing Freight, Eats, ATG etc. So if you honestly want to just enjoy a good wlb, amazing food and maybe learn a little on the job then dropbox. If you are looking for a more permanent fit , then I would say Uber cause I think the opportunity to learn and grow is a lot more in Uber. Specially the scale at which Uber works is a lot different than Dropbox.
hey thanks for your comment. dbx ipo'ed only very recently. can you please clarify on "stock growth in the last 5 years"? is there some where i can see their historical valuations?
Written well – I agree. Dropbox is great, but I think UberEats is a better product from a saturation and longevity perspective.
Dbx ipo at 2018.3
OP, what was the comp you received at both places?
