Pros

-It's easy to believe in the mission of economic empowerment, and the excitement and commitment is contagious. -Management is extremely transparent and provides the right balance of guidance and autonomy. -Teams are scrappy and so efforts are impactful and important. -Hard work is recognized and rewarded. -Prioritizes inclusion for women and diversity inclusion. -Tons of opportunity for personal development, including leadership training, SQL classes, health and wellness, and learning and development.

Cons

As the teams grow so quickly, there can be communication gaps across the various functions (Product, Eng, Data Science, Ops).

Pros

Great perks, Flexible PTO, Hackweeks, and amazing location

Cons

No long term plan for headcount/ people. WAY TO MANY CONTRACTORS so no one has any experience and half your time is telling people how to do their jobs. No real job training when someone is promoted to management. Managers are ridiculously unprofessional and talk about everyone behind their back. I have seen managers stand behind people and roll eyes, feign sleeping, and other just cruel things. Ubers' culture is traveling upstairs to our offices.
