- jdbernard 7y agoThat's true. However, it does seem like the foundation for their mentoring-related experience is Uber: I joined Uber. Until then, I've never received or done mentoring, or at least never put this label on any activity I've done before. I've never worked at Uber and I don't know many people who have. So most of my knowledge of how Uber operates and of the culture they espouse comes from places like HN. Overwhelmingly the press' depiction of Uber's culture is extremely negative. Mentoring is one of those potentially formative experiences in a person's career. Presumably the "Uber way" of mentoring forms a large part of the author's experience and approach to mentoring. It was an interesting divergence from what I would have expected. It's a good data-point on the other side of all the negative we hear related to Uber.
