Pros

Good compensation. Food benefits. Quarterly well-being reimbursement.

Cons
  1. Hire | Judge | Fire

  2. EMs comfortably doing the work of scrum masters and not getting caught. If something goes wrong, hold the dev accountable and push him out!

  3. No one helps others on the team; everyone is focused only on their own work.

  4. Management fakes urgency, thinking, 'Let's push the team for the next few months and get the work done.' That's why they keep hiring.

  5. Basically a cab company running on a large scale.

  6. No research in terms of latest technology.

Advice to Management

Make only ICs who have proper project context Engineering Managers. This will change the whole culture of Uber.
