Uber Senior Software Developer reviews

Great compensation package and some of the best benefits in NYC tech. Smart people with a shared vision. Strong cultural values (yes, really!). Excellent work/life balance. Bureaucracy is nowhere to be seen.

I've worked for a number of great companies over the years: Google, the games industry, research labs. I can with confidence that Uber is the best place I've ever worked. The challenges are fascinating. We're not just building a website or driving ad clicks. We're attempting to fundamentally change the way people and things are transported around the globe. The impact is tangible. At a place like Google, it's easy for an engineer to feel lost in the weeds. Uber has become a big company, but every project still feels vital. Every engineer has the chance to affect millions of riders and driver partners. The opportunities are abundant. Uber has grown faster than any startup in history, but that growth meant there wasn't always time to build to scale. That's both a positive and a negative at times, but on the plus side, it means there are many parts of our tech stack that can be optimized and improved by a motivated engineer. If you want to take ownership or a project you feel passionate about, no one is going to get in your way. Change is happening. 2017 was a real wake up call for Uber. Thankfully, the company took note and listened. We're now refocusing on the longterm sustainability of growth and talent. I've seen so much positive change happen in just over a year. It's been a roller coaster of emotions at times, but it always trends upwards.
