https://www.politico.com/story/2018/02/28/uber-were-moving-away-from-antagonistic-relationship-with-cities-430098 New leadership, a tack away from prior culture... How is it playing out from your little portal within Uber?
It’s going great..there is clarity in the leadership, Dara is been a blessing..most of those I talk to feel optimistic about leadership and Uber overall.
Ex Windbg user?
This is the sort of thing that Dara pushes from week to week in the all hands. Including strong statements of “no more brilliant jerks”.
High hopes for the new strategy. It opens up a lot of doors for us on the partnerships front. Dara’s plan seems to look at Uber more as a platform than anything else. Essentially everyone I’ve spoken to about it thinks he’s a great leader.
I’m interviewing with uber for a role on their ops team so I know they’re actively trying to change how they run and are perceived in market. It’s all in the right direction for sure
Uber to $100 a share!!
It’s night and day vs this time last year. Cultural norms have changed and it’s embraced up and down the company. There are still pockets that will take time to evolve. But I’m bullish on the future. We’re also starting to get positive press with some great products coming out in 2018. Uber Health is a win:win in solving a societal problem. There’ll be more like that.
Great stuff! Always been impressed with how innovative they’ve been vs lyft that’s just a fast follow
This is bullshit. She is only able to be in a position to build those partnerships because those that came before her managed to keep the door open and get regulations passed. This revisionist version of history of by people who joined post 2014/15 and who spent most of their time crying wont help anyone.
A strategy of not being douchebaggy assholes is probably a good call.
Agreed; I'm curious how its playing out for those inside.
It's honestly going pretty well! Nothing is perfect, but the vast majority of Uber employees are fed up with the old approach and are excited/hopeful to see these changes happen.
