Box vs Twitter vs Uber

Nov 1, 2021 33 Comments

Update: I'm choosing Uber. More exciting company to work for, the EM for the team I matched with seems to be an amazing EM, and their TC is by far #1

I have offers from Twitter (SWE2) and Box (Sr SWE), and I'm hearing back from Uber (L4) on Wednesday.

Twitter: 270k TC
Box: 295k TC + $15k sign-on
I am planning to move out of the Bay Area, and Box TC will drop down to 273k (+$15k sign-on).
Twitter and Uber TC will not be impacted by the move.

Uber recruiter was confident they can match these offers if feedback is positive.
Edit: Uber offer is in:
173k base,
330k equity, edit2: they bumped equity to 390k
23k bonus target,
25k sign-on, edit2: they bumped sign on to 50k (25k now and then again in a year)
And 10.1k relocation to Seattle
Gonna chat with HMs soon but I'm hoping they'll allow full time remote as I do not want to live close to office or do a long commute, lol

Twitter recruiter is going to try and bump the TC to 280-285k, but no guarantees. I'll find out tomorrow.
Box seems pretty fixed in their offer.

Box has stronger refreshers than Twitter (per year I think Box is about ~20k higher than Twitter)

I am planning on working full time remote and all companies offer this.

I love the team I'm offered at Box.
The Twitter team is ok/good, but I much prefer Box.
Don't have enough info on the Uber team yet, but from what I know, I think I prefer Uber team over Twitter, but still less than Box.

As for Box vs Twitter vs Uber as companies, not sure how I'd rank them.
I know Box and Twitter both offer unlimited PTO and great WLB.
Uber also has unlimited PTO, but not sure how WLB / culture is over there.

5 YOE.

      I see you are planning to move out, I doubt if you offer stands the same with twitter, since I heard they have paybands per location. Are you moving within the same region ?

    • I'm planning on moving in a few months. The recruiter assured me that if I move after I accept the offer, my TC won't change or be impacted.

    Box has the best WLB of all. I don't know if they lowered the TCs being offered in recent times but I have seen some of their offers for 5 YOE exceeding 350K.

    • There's a target number based on a percentage of your salary. I think for P1 and P2 it's 10% of your base and for P3 (and above?) it's 15%. Maybe it's 15/20, I don't remember.

      Then there's a multiplier that depends on how the company is doing, can be anywhere from 0 to 3.
      On average, it's better than 1.

      However, the multiplier is only chosen when it is time to pay out the bonus, which is 3 years after the target was set in March.

    I think L4 SWE at Uber should beat those. Did they say which org? WLB will vary, though a lot of teams are hiring. You should clarify whether remote will impact your TC. I think pay bands are affected by where you go.

    • For Uber the org(?) is "Documents Platform"

      My understanding is that remote will not impact my TC for any of these positions, but I don't think I clarified with Uber.

      The recruiter did say that living in LA, Bay, or Seattle area won't impact my pay, they all have the same band

    Looks like you need to clear the Uber interview first to put it here. Have you officially got an offer from Uber?
    If Uber beats/matches other, I’d vote for Uber. We have more potentials and the work here is impactful.
