Uber

My engineering team has an excellent technical level. I'm learning a lot. We have great discussions. There's lots to do too, and many opportunities to do super high-impact work.

Uber is one of the most scrutinized companies in the world. It's also a very convenient villain, and misconceptions abound. Politicians get exposure by opposing Uber, and some find there is more to gain by doing so than by serving the interests of their constituents. This can be frustrating. My internal (and informed!) view of Uber is very different from what I can read about it.

Make the brand more approachable. Uber is no longer an exclusive service for the rich.
