Which Indian wedding style is the most beautiful, interesting, and elegant?
I have a verbal offer from Uber (still waiting for the comp numbers) but reluctant to take it because of everything I have heard about the culture there. If I'm gone before I vest, all the comp/stock is moot. Folks at Uber - can you give me your honest assessment of the culture there? Do a lot of people leave quickly? What is it like working there? This will be extremely helpful in making my decision.
I know a few folks from fb that left after a few months at Uber. Possibly leaving myself soon. The culture is at least as bad as you've heard. Please share your numbers after you get them.
Me too - but not to Facebook :)
Which org? A lot depends on the org...If it is in infrastructure, you're safe. We have some mature leadership from Google, Facebook, Pinterest, etc who are fixing the culture, building cool shit, and forming awesome teams. Don't join anything besides infrastructure though.
Eng culture is very bad. Poor tools, poor eng process of building things. Bad engineers take higher percentage of population here IMO. Leadership only adds extra meaningless work to engineers. Managers care less about career growth of their reports.
No one on my team sustained over a year
I'm the one "No" - AMA
How long have you been at Uber? What do you like about the culture?
Wow... Rarely seen such a one sided poll... Something is definitely not going right at Uber!!
I like my team :) the people are great and it's very impactful. Only working 40-50 hours right now but I'm not a engineer
I'm not sure what the RSU package is like for drivers but congrats. Did you get an offer from lyft too? I hear the prime time payouts and culture is better and you get to put a big pink mustache on your car and give out fist bumps!
how many hours are you willing to work?
I work long hours at Facebook too, so it's not an issue as long as the work is interesting, rewarding and fun.
i obviously cant share our projects, but work is definitely fun, interesting, and intense. i wish i could work only 40-50 hrs but otherwise the impact of being at the forefront of certain projects is really cool. also depends which company youre more bullish on since stock is a huge part of compensation for both companies.
