Pros

Tldr; It's amazing. Apply now. Why Uber: - There are just a few tech companies, where you work on problems of such scale (petabytes of data, 50k+ QPS etc). - There are even fewer companies where you solve problems in the real world, ie. you're not helping people share cat memes, you're providing millions of partners from hundreds of countries, a livelihood. Why Uber in Amsterdam: - Impactful work: This isn't just another satellite campus. Uber Engineering in Amsterdam works on problems, that are essential for business. - Work/life balance: Maybe this applies to more places in Europe in general, but you're encouraged to pace things in a way you're comfortable. - Phenomenal compensation: almost 50-100% more than competing firms in Amsterdam, while this might be less absolute money than offers in SF or London, the cheaper cost of living in Amsterdam ensures you have a very comfortable life. - Great Benefits: Apart from regular things like insurance, and gym membership, you also get about ~300 EUR of Uber credits a month, you can use them on rides or to order food from Uber Eats, you can basically get away with never cooking dinner. Why Amsterdam: - Beautiful city, amazingly located especially if you want to strike off over a dozen travel locations from your bucket list. - Everyone knows English and is very friendly towards expats! - Theres a tax benefit for High Knowledge immigrants in the Netherlands, that'll bring down your effective tax rate to about 25% (from 50+%.)

Cons

At present growth opportunities (for positions beyond Sr. Engineer) seem limited as opposed to SF.

Pros

$17.50 per hour, nice benefits, looks good on your resume, and you learn how to deal with unreasonable people/unreasonable situations.

Cons

management does not have valid leadership experience, they steal your ideas with creative exercises one must complete to get a promotion or make lateral moves and then you don't even get the job, incompetent people are promoted over people that are consistent high achievers with proven leadership ability, they are understaffed on various teams and place unreasonable expectations on said team members, they are reactive instead of proactive, and they ignore complaints about problematic employees and members of leadership.
