Pros

I work at ATG, so the environment may be different than at other sites. I have a diverse team with a profile of experiences prior to Uber. I learn new things from my coworkers every day. I have a great immediate team and a good boss.

Most of the people that work here are invested in the company's success. The market for self-driving vehicles is incredibly competitive, and we want Uber to win.

I am a woman engineer, and I have had an incredibly positive experience thus far. I think the company is committed to making Uber a better place to work for women and other underrepresented groups.

Cons

ATG will ignore important Uber initiatives by saying, "We aren't a part of ride-sharing; this doesn't apply to us." That can be frustrating, especially when a program, training, or experience becomes available to Prime and you feel it is important.

Advice to Management

Uber ATG is a part of Uber, so please treat it as such.

Hire more women. Hire more minorities.

And stop using the excuse of "There aren't any qualified women (or other group)". Having an all-male team is a reflection on your hiring practices, not the pool of candidates.
