Pros

SF city location, cool office, free food, great benefits - travel, gym, vacation, culture because they say they have a mission, Uber renews contract, and 10K+ customers, better (cooler) product than competition that all do the exact same thing, focus on demand economy (blue ocean strategy), their competition (incumbents) have solid footprint with enterprise accounts, now with partnerships they want to take on incumbents, big market to capture but who knows it's still a commoditized software with atlas 2-3K competitors

Cons

Too much focus on culture After all, it's a background check software Uber signed an 8 figure deal (more than 1/3rd their revenue is a modest assessment)

Appreciate the review. Respectfully disagree on your perspective that there's too much focus on culture. Our culture and core values are a big part of why we've been able to be successful. But time will tell and we obviously hope to continue to evolve and grow. Thanks - Arthur Yamamoto / Director of Talent

Pros

Great insurance. Learning Stipends, etc

Cons

-Senior leadership only cares about what is new and shiny. -They treat AI like a religion. Forcing everyone to use AI for everything as though we don't realize that the end goal is to eliminate our roles - All Hands Meetings every month where Senior Leadership pats themselves on the back while ignoring any existing issues. - Support is treated like a necessary evil instead of a fundamental part of doing business. Would prefer to ship the roles overseas or replace with AI - Extremely high attrition for Senior Leadership.
