would you leave Microsoft and go to Uber ? do you know anyone who has ? what are the pros and cons ? they approached me and ill be interviewing with them so want to know what others may have experienced or know about the compny and what its like inside !
Uber is a scam. Almost a criminal org. Toxic culture, sexist asshole founder set the tone. Yeah he’s gone but the culture didn’t just improve overnight. They are unprofitable and use accounting tricks and IPO money to stay afloat. The greater sucker theory didn’t work though. The stock is well below IPO pricing. They are fighting numerous lawsuits all over the world as they break laws and regulations without concern. This has gotten them banned and fined, but they don’t care. I wouldn’t want Uber on my resume.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft_Corp. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Corp._v._Commission https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_litigation There are literally hundreds of cases of Microsoft being sued and fined by governments all over the world. Do you believe your company got to where it is today by playing fair? LOL! Let's try not to rewrite history with Microsoft as some kind of saint. Bill Gates was ruthless and hated by most of the world during the 90's and even into the 00's. Careful throwing stones from that glass house.
The house isn’t all that glass these days. 20 year old cases are 20 years old. Uber is a scam company currently screwing over investors, employees, and their drivers. Today, right now, as you read this.
Uber cleared out a lot of dead weight and has some solid new teams. The majority of people on these new teams passed a more recent, higher hiring bar. Uber also pays a good bit better. TC or GTFO amirite?
Thanks everyone .. role is in enablement .. they are also not able to fully match my L63 salary at MSFT the attractiveness was working in a more agile environment and I guess I was betting on a good culture of small startup family like but it doesn’t sound like they have that ! I don’t think I will do to .. have a good gig at MSFT but pretty frustrated with the current team
Role? Tc?
