      Don't be a software engineer at this company

      Pros

      Lots of smart and young engineers to work with. But the working environment is competitive instead of collaborative. You need to be very aggressive and good at stepping on other's shoulder to move up.

      Cons

      Terrible culture and management team. No work life balance. Extremely long working hours and hard to get vacation days to recharge. You have to work even when you are sick.

      Thanks for sending in this review. I'm not sure when you left the company but I'm confident that a lot of the change and action going on right now is improving the overall experience of working at Uber. Thanks again and best of luck in the next opportunity.

      Software Engineer in Uber ATG (Advanced Technologies Group)

      Pros

      Super smart, kind, thoughtful people, super interesting problems, benefits of a start-up and an established company. In my experience, the media narrative just does not line up with the reality inside Uber. The people here are not "brogrammers" - they're serious software engineers that are passionate about solving a really, really hard problem. This is at the ATG Pittsburgh location, mind you, so I can't comment on SF. But here, at least, I know, it's awesome. And by the way, the company is trying very hard to change what problems do exist in the culture. It's not just a show for the outside. Everyone takes it very seriously, and there have been incidents in which the employees took a stand as a group to hold someone accountable for actions that violated our values.

      Cons

      Mostly: the outside image. Explaining to your friends. Having to justify to friends why you support Uber and why Uber is a good company. But if you believe that fixing a problem that causes 30,000 deaths and countless more accidents a year is important, then come work at ATG.

      Wholeheartedly agree. Thank you for the review and feedback. I really like how you call out the company's commitment to change; I too have seen just how hard everyone is working to identify what needs to be changed and our commitment to take swift action to improve it. We're holding ourselves accountable in all the right ways and that makes the future very exciting. Keep up the fantastic work in ATG, it's inspiring to see the projects coming from your team. Thanks again.
