Fair point - thanks for making it.
I wanted to see if I can inject some perspective here overall and Her post covers both to a fair degree.
I think that it is hard for us all at times to remember that large orgs can have pretty varied cultures and that some bad experiences don't speak for the whole.
Hoping we can have a productive discussion about culture in this thread :)
- taurath 10y agoIt's one of the downsides of being such a large company, some bad PR story is treated as if from one entity, because in people's minds Uber is just Uber. Having been on both the inside and outside when a horrifying news story comes out, I always try to err on the side of caution. It is near impossible as an outsider to know whether the problem is systemic or not. Interestingly, I'll bet it really slows down the amount of idealistic people who'd want to apply for a company though - I keep telling friends at amazon I'd be interested to apply but the risk of being put on one of the "bad teams" seems very high, and they've generally been in agreement because they agree it would be a risk - they read the same stories.
- kposehn 10y agoSo well put. Thank you for summing it up far better than I could have :)
