Uber’s Post

Hi there! I decided to study how processes are built in other IT companies in Bulgaria because there is no limit to perfection! And my first “subject” was Uber I attended a meetup “PRD & ERD doc management: A Product & Engineering perspective.” The team at Uber organized a very cozy and friendly atmosphere in the office (pizza, connecting people!) For me, the most interesting part of such events is the Q&A sessions and the opportunity to chat with the speaker after the official part. My expectations were met—I discussed not only the importance of building clear processes with Uber’s team lead Yani but also that processes should, first and foremost, help the company achieve its goals. I took away a couple of ideas! Thanks, Yani and Gabi, for the helpful insights. Can’t wait for the next opportunity to catch up with old colleagues and meet more new ones! It’s interesting to hear your opinion, colleagues and friends, do you attend such kind of events? Why?

What stretch opportunities have helped you grow in your career? "One of the best experiences I had was a three-month internal gig with an Operations team. This trial period allowed me to see if my skills met the expectations of an Operations Manager at Uber and identify areas for growth." As a result, Nick Capriola switched teams. "My Account Management background helped bring the customer's voice to Operations, offering unique insights that some colleagues might not have. The most effective teams at Uber combine diverse skill sets to tackle problems from all angles." Grow at Uber → https://lnkd.in/dGXNA_v2 #LifeAtUber

🎉 Happy 1-year anniversary at Dagger, Sophia Sanders! 🎉 It’s been incredible watching you grow over the past year, and I’m so excited to see all your hard work come together at our upcoming team retreat! 💪❤️ Transitioning from a non-technical company to a technical start-up is no small feat, especially in the B2B tech world. But Sophia has embraced every challenge like a pro and gracefully took all feedback. As her manager, this milestone also got me reflecting on what it takes to thrive in Ops within a start-up. It’s definitely not for the faint of heart! I hope these tips will help anyone else in Ops who’s thinking about diving into start-ups: 1️⃣ Be ready to do it all—and do it with a smile. In a physical office, I’d say, “take out the trash,” but in a remote world, this could be anything from crunching numbers to taking a small but time-consuming task off someone’s plate. 2️⃣ Stay ahead of the game—be everywhere, all the time. Anticipating your team’s needs before they ask is a superpower. 3️⃣ Embrace the energy—you set the tone for the whole team. Being the Ops cheerleader is part of the role, and your enthusiasm will be contagious. 4️⃣ Celebrate technical wins—you don’t have to be technical yourself, but you should be excited about the team’s technical milestones. If you’re not engaged, everyone will notice. I’m not going to sugarcoat it—Ops can be a thankless job sometimes. If you’re doing it well, much of what you do may go unnoticed because you’ve built such a seamless system. But that’s what makes it so impactful. 🙌

As they say, it takes a village to raise a child, it also takes many great hands to build a great career experience. As I finish five years at Uber, here are the five great things about Uber that made these years the most remarkable time of my career! #1: It is always a pleasure to work with great minds, but it is a delight to work with those who also have great hearts! The culture of Uber significantly amplifies the impact of collaboration, mentorship, and the spirit of teamwork. Hence, the right combination of smartness and teamwork thrives in Uber, making it a delightful experience to work across teams in different geographies! #2: Uber is the place where you get the right balance of the opportunity to build, while you are supported in an ecosystem of great peers and encouraging leadership. The green field experience of being close to the complexities of business, finding the space to identify opportunities, and picking up tough challenges to solve makes life interesting always! In this journey, you always get an abundance of leadership support that becomes your GPS to keep you guided!! #3: The Agility with which Uber works is amazing! Being in the mobility industry, I have been fortunate to closely witness Uber run into and out of the COVID time zone so seamlessly, while pivoting across its different businesses. The agility with which the people at Uber work is commendable for the size of its operations! This place keeps the pace-lover in me satisfied all the time! #4: As I reflect at the end of every year, I see a new thought process that the year gone by has left me with! The range of experiences that the organization exposes you to, makes you stronger, tougher, and more evolved as a person. Uber has been a home where I have un-learned and re-learned in many cycles, and I feel like every new leaf of thoughts that I grow is taking me higher and giving me a different view of the same business that I have always seen! #5: Working at the confluence of cutting-edge technologies and challenging business problems makes every day interesting. Unfolding the layers of complex challenges, touching the lives of people every day, finding tough problems to solve, and collaborating with great minds to find meaningful solutions keeps me going to work every morning! I love looking at a long list of interesting challenges every morning, picking the most impactful ones, and still being left with many that will get my attention on another morning! A Big Thank you to all my managers and leaders who supported me in this journey. It is the great leadership you bring to work every day that makes my experience so impactful professionally and personally!

Life lessons may come in many forms: a wise mentor, a meaningful experience or just a good-old challenge. But, sometimes, they come in the form of a single phrase that can give meaning to an entire corporate machinery. “Deliver a better day” It’s only been two weeks since I started a new career at Uber and I already feel this has been the single greatest lesson I will ever learn here. #LifeAtUber #UberEats #Uber
