Uber

I joined Uber right after graduating from university, and so far, I think it's an awesome place to start a career. I'm often surprised by the responsibility and autonomy that I have as a New Grad. I love that I always feel like I don't know enough, as that's constantly pushed me to learn more things more quickly, and I can definitely see how this has helped me grow faster than my friends who graduated at the same time.

Uber's a really controversial company, and while we know internally that we try to do the right thing, the world often doesn't see it that way.

It can be really exhausting to constantly see your company portrayed negatively in the media. It also becomes a bit exhausting to explain the situation to your friends and family. This exhaustion can sometimes be felt at the office.

Additionally, while Uber's tried quite hard to keep itself transparent, the speed at which the company moves can leave you feeling like you don't know what's happening in your own company. At the moment, there aren't enough company-wide events that help alleviate this.

Uber prides itself on feeling like a small company while still being a large company. It would be really cool if we could redouble this effort.
