UiPath work life balance & compensation?

I see either really good or really bad reviews from 2 years ago. Is work in the Bellevue office interesting? Is it truly unlimited PTO? Is it a good place to join as an entry level engineer? How would you compare it against big tech companies ? Also, how’s the job security? I heard there were layoffs some years ago. Deciding between internship offers (Uber, Microsoft, UiPath) YOE: 0

The UiPath recruiter told me their conversation rate is 90%. Microsoft conversion is high too ~80%. Biggest name is Microsoft. Highest paying is…idk. I’m rly stuck choosing between Microsoft and UiPath.

career wise and learning wise I would pick Microsoft. Old school but they mostly got their shit together when it comes to interns. Don’t chase TC as an intern - you’re going to play this game for decades

Thanks for the insight. I was considering since UiPath is a smaller company, the potential to work on larger impact things/learn more might be higher? The company seems interesting enough. It’s hard to turn down the Microsoft prestige/security tho. Of course since I’m still a student my perception might be skewed

a smaller company may mean less structure and more randomization. IMHO it could be good career wise but not for an internship.

Few things for you to consider: - UiPath in Bellevue is mostly folks from MS, FB, Google, Amzn, as well as other good places - Bellevue consists of cloud and data orgs which IMO most interesting/challenging/growing - It’s normal for interns here to do real stuff - features/changes that aren’t just toy projects. You’ll get good experience at working on a good scoped real problem, and will be treated equally as other engineers (if you’re coming to eng team) Having said that all 3 choices are great! ps. I’ve been at MS and at Uber and mentored interns at both places
