Pros

- Great Corporate Benefits - Caring colleagues on a personal level - Socially minded culture - Inclusivity, Allyship, and Peer Support

Cons

- Hands-down the most toxic culture in terms of leadership, especially within the Rideshare org. - Credit for contributions made is taken by those who didn't do or contribute to the work. - Agreeable incompetence is awarded and promoted over legitimate experience or expertise—the folks getting promoted are rarely qualified for the role. - The HR and Employee Relations orgs are openly biased towards preserving leadership interests and headcount over the supporting individual contributor reports of issues, harassment, or inequitable treatment. - Performance and promotions are evaluated based on how happy you make your assigned stakeholders—not on actual job performance or contributing to the mission of the company. - Does not truly support a remote workforce model—openly biased towards working in an office over-investing in the technology and systems to enable distributed workforce success.
