Recently had an interview event with Uber. The recruiter gave me a list of teams post-interview and mentioned that my interview feedbacks were positive (Can I treat this as verbal offer? no numbers yet): 1. Marketplace 2. Finance Engineering 3. Big data 4. AI team 5. Grocery I am wondering can someone give me advice on how to choose the team among this. I don't want to have too many politics and hope the work-life balance is okay. My personal preference is around big data/ AI technology Thank you so much!
Marketplace Fares
big data org = good wlb, nice tech, marketplace = product focused, lot of half baked solutions, very political. good exposure to ML based system. finance = mostly same as marketplace but eng quality is low. AI team = good learning but you will not have feedback loop of product launches. grocery = new business, may feel chaotic and adhoc initially. fyi - am in marketplace.
How about Uber eats
Grocery would likely have the most career growth potential as it is the youngest team. AI does interesting work but is kind of removed from product. Marketplace is always interesting work too but more product focused
Thanks for your reply! I just talked with the leader in finance engineering team. They seem to build a financial data platform, do you have any comments in thus team also the big data team?
No, sorry, don’t have context
