Uber Senior Software Developer reviews

The best thing about working here is the fact that you get to solve problems at a very large scale. Every thing you do here is used by millions of people, and pushed to performance limits. Uber has a good onboarding process, including a week of training and weekly sessions that anyone can attend. You get thrown into the fire quickly, and will be asked to solve problems right from the start. This can be stressful at first.

A lot of reviews on glassdoor are from Drivers/Partners that don't capture how the engineering culture is. Company is solving a really big & tough problem - ground transportation. There is a whole new level of reliability that is needed for Uber's systems, due to the fact that it is moving real people and things. FB/Twitter/... not loading for 20 mins is bad for the company's business. But Uber not working for 20 mins, means someone misses their interview or someone might be stranded for a while. So, the company seems to be ready to invest in a lot of long term technology pieces needed to get there. So, if you are a developer hungry for working & experimenting new software systems, I would say Uber should rank among the top 3 places right now in the valley. People are nice and generally willing to help you out. Everyone is tuned (the onboarding process is very good at tuning new people also towards this) to working towards getting things out of the way and march towards the company's goals. So, if you believe in the vision of Uber and have an attitude of making progress, you will do absolutely fine here!
