Senior Strategic Initiatives Associate, San Francisco

What makes Uber a unique place to work?

The scale of our organization and the diversity of our business presents a lot of interesting challenges that most other companies do not have. Being at the intersection of the digital and physical worlds creates a lot of new challenges. While I don’t work on those challenges directly, our People team creates the environment in which those problems can be solved and cultivates the talent that will solve those problems, which is pretty motivating for me.

What’s your favorite part of being on the People team?

Our People team is at an important place in our evolution where we are moving from maturing a lot of what we do to innovating on what we do. We have the added benefit of not having too many big legacy programs like a lot of older companies have so we can make bigger jumps in our innovations if we go for it. There are a lot of complexities in building programs and processes for a workforce as large and diverse as ours, but there is a lot of opportunity to do new and different things too, which is exciting.

What makes you most proud to work at Uber?

I think the depth and diversity of our product is really inspiring. Most people don’t understand how much we really offer through our platform, and how much opportunity still exists. The impact we have with our product is incredibly inspiring, particularly when you look across the many countries where we operate. There are places where Uber has changed the quality of people's lives in a fundamental way, which makes me really proud to work here.
