Pros
- I had the opportunity to be one of the first employees in Uber in LATAM. It's been amazing to see how fast it has grown and all the potential we still have. Back in the days (July 2014) we were operating with Rides in 7 cities in the region, and we are now in more than 130. We now have UberEats too, expanding rapidly. - I haven't had the chance to get bored in almost 4 years. New projects and challenges coming up every day. - I've also had the opportunity to grow, start hiring and build a team - It is very goal and objectives driven. You are set up with tasks and goals, and you are free to do whatever you think is best - but making sure to deliver! - They trust you and will help you along the way - I'ts been truly inspiring to see how Uber has changed from inside out, changing its mission, priorities, etc, but always listening to employees and doing what's best for them - I'm confident we are heading to an even better place.. and still with plenty of challenges ahead
Cons
- The fast growth was also a bit painful. Constant changes, switch of priorities every time and we didn't really got to plan anything, just react and deliver. - Its very hard to be in a company so publicly known, where you see negative news almost every day... most of the times these are not entirely true. - As we grew so fast, we tried to grow our people very fast too. We got to a point where we had lots of young managers - that were first time managers.
