Points to rethink if you have an offer from Uber.
Current employee at Uber for >3 yrs.
- Stocks are too inflated, will be in down hill soon.
- Engineering culture is meh. Just showing off. All important as well major work is done by USA teams.
- India teams are majorly for maintenance and minor works.
- Highly toxic culture, you need to work 14hrs daily, no exception. Even on weekends sometime.
- High on Politics in majority of teams due to Ex-Amazonians.
- 12 diff/PR in a month mandatory, if less, PIP is coming..
- My 2 friends got offer for L4 and L5, highly lowballing directly cutting 15-20L from what we internal employees are getting. Providing Lowest Offer as much as possible
- Hiring Bar has decreased a lot, even if you get No, will get hire but more low ball.
- Major Layoff coming soon due to lot of low quality hiring.
- Hikes are not at all good, very less refreshers.
Consider all these points before joining, do check levels fyi for comp average, do not join below average, you will regret a lot.
All the best!
