Got an offer for Uber swe, looking to gather some info. What is it like working at Uber? How is the wlb and culture? Thanks!
Wouldn't another mass shutdown trigger layoffs??
Imo no
Wlb is good, organization culture is PPL centric and hence you will not find unnecessary managerial pressure (counselling opportunity in case of employee feeling mentally unstable and unlimited leaves are some of the industry best practices that you will also find in uber) .
How is dev infra and experience? Is it hard or slow to ship code?
Dev infra is mixed mostly because currently don’t have good budgets.. I ship twice or thrice a day .. No restrictions as such .. what ever your team is comfortable.. Above analysis is for Backend.. Mobile i think we ship every week
Is it service oriented or a monorepo? Are there well maintained components that can be used to build standard apis? Or does each team have to reinvent the wheel?
How is immigration at Uber ? I have accepted an offer and i am still in assessment with next steps since two weeks. 🤦🏻♂️
Anything possibly related to HR is horrifically slow! Rest assured all your HR related questions can lie there for a thousand years.
This sucks. I want to join when the stock price is low, their delays will keep me out of my plan.
Been here for 3 years. Work less than 40 hours a week and love it here. Culture is team dependent but generally, people are smart and friendly.
Look at stock performance, many people are bitter about it tbh. Working here is good with good culture, interesting problems. Pay is good too for new hires. Wlb does depend on team too.
The people are the best. WLB depends on your team. Average on my team is 60 hours/week. Lots of organizational dysfunction/immaturity can mean changing priorities and thrash. Great benefits. Overall, happy to be here but tired
How is culture and wlb for rider verticals team ? Specifically Airport Mobility teams ?
Rider Verticals has great wlb. The Sr.EM encourages and supports personal time. The EM for Airports is pretty great. He won’t expect you to work more than he does. Low attrition. Majority of new HC is due to growth. Airports/Travel is the biggest money maker and has the most growth.

People who like Modi, are you okay with your country’s leader using words like “infiltrators” for a community?
