      Good Salary, Friendly People, Weak Management

      Pros

      The salary is top notch, even in the tech industry. Uber in the past has had a reputation for being an incredibly toxic place to work at. From what I've understand, they've undergone a transformation with the current CEO Dara Khosrowshahi. I've been here for 2+ years and I have not experienced that at all. All the people I've worked with are respectful. The work life balance is also quite good. I typically do not have to work more than 40h, except for on-call or an occasional deadline.

      Cons

      Uber has started to track diff count and other metrics for worker productivity, and it is an input to performance discussions. I often see diffs that are committed without testing or unnecessarily broken down just to meet quota requirements. It hurts quality without materially improving true productivity in my opinion. I also feel like management is quite weak. My managers are all just people managers, assigning work to engineers and attending meetings. I don't see ownership in them to drive culture or engineering efficiency or product strategy. That stuff is pushed down to the engineers who are busy in the weeds. As a result, I see tons of examples of poor engineering design, incidents that happen due to lack of testing, and so on.
