Much better than I expected - Recensione dipendente - Software Engineer presso Uber

Despite intensive press coverage of the company (not always positive, as you might have noticed), from inside this is a very convenient/inspiring place to work at. What I like: - competitive compensation. I've been working at many places and sometimes my employers played Scrooge McDuck on annual performance reviews (some of them are still searching for "replacement", all these years). At Uber, in contrast, I faced with reasonable attitude from the very beginning. Will see how it goes. - interesting "Uber-scale" projects. I feel I'm getting smarter with every month. Soon after joining the company I found myself in a position of a fresh graduate on his/her first job (despite 10+ years of experience). Uber is growing rapidly, which in turn requires bleeding edge technologies/approaches to be invented/implemented/accepted. I'm in love with my profession, so working on large-scale projects makes me experience technological orgasm. - reasonable level of management. As an engineer I have an initiative here. I don't need to discuss every single breath I make, though of course I'm not completely free. - friendly atmosphere inside the company. People are different, so one may face different characters/attitudes. Nevertheless, general mood is friendly and people are more or less relaxed.
