Uber is a great place to work! It has a very relaxed and friendly environment and atmosphere, with top-notch equipment and full of very, very smart people.
We also have great breakfast and lunch at the office, and the Uber credits we get are awesome, especially because of UberEats. You barely need to cook if you work for Uber.
Our new CEO also seems to be pushing us in the right direction to become a more and more serious company.
Some engineering teams seem to be hooked onto the old culture of "grow, grow, grow," which means that we sometimes "just do it" instead of "do it right." There are very few mature engineering processes or rules of thumb, so it may look chaotic if you come from a company with very mature engineering processes.
Also, on-call is not paid extra in cash, but you get to come very late to the office the next day. The whole on-call thing is a con for me.
Keep showing that you care about employees. Keep pushing the company in the right direction to become a more serious and respected one. Always strive to improve engineering, following our new culture of "We do it right, period."
