Pluspunten

- Despite Uber maturing as a big tech company, there's still many interesting and impactful projects available (although ultimately it depends on your team/org). Mid-level (or even entry-level) engineers can be entrusted with running an entire initiative, which is a great opportunity to demonstrate/grow collaboration and leadership skills - The tech stack and tooling is decent, although a lot is built in-house, which of course means some of the skills you learn here won't be fully transferrable

Minpunten

- Work-life balance has steadily worsened over the years due to hiring freezes/headcount reductions, and increasing pressure on employees from management to work/do more given the state of the tech job market - There's a lot of excitement from middle management about using AI, but many engineers are so bogged down dealing with incidents/operations work that we have no time to leverage AI to improve efficiency

Pluspunten

I love being able to work around truly passionate people who are ready to change the world. The culture is great, free snacks and food is big plus. I had the opportunity to take ownership of projects within my first month

Minpunten

The hours are much longer than any other job I've worked in, but this is expected to change as we continue hiring more help
