Good Culture, Toxic Management
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Amsterdam, Netherlands
May 6, 2025
Pros: Nice benefits, strong engineering culture.
Cons: Maybe slightly toxic, especially senior management.
4.0
Great learning opportunity, but the organization suffocates individuals under its weight
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands
March 11, 2018
Pros: Great learning opportunity.
Following best practices in both code and management.
Free lunch.
Co-workers are true professionals that care about the quality of their craftsmanship.
Code is written well and generally of high quality.
Cons: Overly bureaucratic, even if superficially pretending to be casual. Said to still possess the startup culture - utter BS.
Promo process so heavy and bureaucratic that it's easier to quit and come back re-evaluated.
Not a place for loners, introverts, and quiet people. So much insistence on constant communication, documentation, meetings, syncing, retrospectives, 1:1s, all-hands, RFC reviewing, to the point where it's hard to just sit in peace and do some actual coding.

Uber Freight is not Uber
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
March 7, 2024
Pros: Uber Freight does probably pay better than your average tech company, but it is not Uber.
Cons: Poor leadership. When the business is dying, rather than ELT taking responsibility, it's just layoffs for folks on the bottom.
