A challenging place for engineers

Software Engineer II

3.0
Pros
  • The company is still growing fast and has lots of potential in areas like auto-driving cars.
  • There are always new projects to work on. Most of the time, it is hard to decide what to work on next since there are so many choices.
Cons

Organizational direction changes constantly. Uber seems to have a good vision about the long-term mission, but down to specific projects in the engineering department, chaos is present all over the place.

Politics and internal friction are increasing as company culture somehow encourages aggressiveness. You need to know how to fight for yourself, even if you are just an engineer.

Advice to Management

Let the employee know that you care about them. Start from the worst free lunch in the valley.
