Pros

It's a company that wants to do the right thing.

You work on a product that is important to so many people in a very real way.

It has a great mission that can change the world.

Cons

Some of the old Uber is returning unchecked. In particular, the bad managers are now rising up after hiding, and there are stories of intimidation and fear to control people. Today, I heard a manager telling very new and junior staff, while talking about money and stock at their work area, that Uber only knows about them what he tells them. So, if they want a pay rise or stock, they should look after him (in a very not-so-joking way). Please don't let the old Uber return. The new Uber is a much nicer place to work.

Advice to Management

Don't give up on the changes. They have been great, but the change has to be ongoing.
