Pros

My experience as a software engineer at Uber has been mostly positive. Uber provides high compensation and good benefits, the people are smart and supportive, and there is always work to be done. It is engaging. Like with many big companies, there is more work to be done than can get done. This is generally a good thing. It helps to stay engaged and to continually grow. The problem is when things try to move too fast and timelines, quality standards, and boundaries aren't managed correctly. Communicate well and it's overall a good situation.

Cons

Sometimes projects and initiatives try to move too fast and it comes at the cost of code quality and incidents. This isn't uncommon so just try to manage it, that's part of job anyway. I personally don't have an issue with the 50% RTO policy and code diff expectations. Some people do. Just gauge what type of situation you want and make a decision based on the facts.

Pros

Good compensation and nothing else

Cons

Unstable OKR Doesn't care about employees HRs ghost you after joining Doesn't have proper leveling of engineers. They treat their levels at par with Google or Amazon but their levels are much below the levels of those companies. Worst diversity

Pros

Talented people around Good work & life balance Lots of opportunities to learn as a developer

Cons

No full remote, there are mandatory days to visit the office. Uber has grown from a small startup a long time ago, I can say that not all processes are fast, but for a company of this size it's pretty good
