Uber Work Experiences

Best of both worlds: start-up mindset and global impact

Engineering Manager • Current Employee

São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil

Pros: Although Uber is now a public global company with thousands of engineers and employees, there's still a start-up mentality in which you have lots of autonomy, can move fast, and question the status quo. The internal culture is extremely healthy, with high energy and very intelligent people all around. The office in São Paulo is amazing, and the food is great.

Cons: There are really no major downsides to joining the new São Paulo Tech Center office for engineers looking to make a difference.

Downsizing in Sofia

Engineering Manager • Former Employee

Sofia, Sofia (city), Bulgaria

Pros: A year ago, it was a great place to grow and do meaningful work. Still, there are some good engineers.

Cons: The Sofia location is downsizing. A few floors will be released. No new projects are planned, and replacements have been stopped in favor of managers and engineers from India. Most Sofia engineering leads left the company in the last couple of months, following the engineering site lead's departure. Before that, a few experienced product managers left. The big wins in engineering and technology seem to be over.
