I was wondering if any Uber employee can answer these questions. Why is uber expanding so much in Hyderabad ? How is the work ? Is it suitable to stay here for the long game and have good career progress ?
The party in India has just started. As the center grows so does your career
And India team is doing some cool stuff... Both hyd and Bangalore
Trolling apart. Won't suggest to go for anything rather than TC. Inner circle thing is real. And you will feel it every now and then. Cool stuff are nothing but offshore work mostly UI and some bug fixing and feature enhancements.
Salesforce is better than Uber especially if you get into Einstein team
TC
1. Work is decent. The site’s major responsibility is reporting revenue and accounting for the entirety of Uber, which is rather huge IMO. If you are outside the loop of that, you might feel left out. This probably gives the idea of there being a core group. I have seen people who became “core” within one week. 2. TC right now is comparable to Amazon/Microsoft. But if you believe in the company and feel it’s gonna have a huge IPO, you can very well double your money in a year. 3. A great new office. Some say amongst the best there is in the company. 4. Great potential in the engineers. Bar a few most engineers are extremely talented and smart. 5. Leaders are from oracle but I’ve found them to be friendly, and visionary. They might not give that as the first impression though.
But everywhere in world they would judge you average if you were an application engineer from Oracle. Surely Uber could have got better managers.
People improve over time. How can you give a tag to someone for eternity based on where he worked ? Do you think people are static ?
I am no one to judge. I have heard stories about people not being happy with Hyderabad leadership. That said I know there are top class people working out of uber Hyderabad.
Uber Hyderabad has hired a lot of MS folks.
No. Party is over. People who joined couple of years back or year back had good advantage of early start. Now there is inner circle of old timers. Why expanding? Cheap cost center for Dev aiming IPO.
I heard that the hyd center leadership isn't good. Some old timers from Oracle. I'm interested in interviewing with Uber; but don't want to waste my time with shitty leadership.
Shitty leadership is an issue for most desi places.
