    I think Uber is a great company
    and I love the product.

I love the product too, but I also think they're the exact opposite of a great company. Or perhaps we have different definitions of the word "great." How are you using it?

[gkoberger]

"Of an extent, amount, or intensity considerably above the normal or average"

They're not saying they're a good company, they're saying they're a great company.

Do you happen to know that that is the particular definition mrkmcknz means? It's not clear to me, and it looks like you've just chosen a common dictionary definition and used that to indicate they aren't calling it a good company, while other dictionary definitions for great explicitly mean things equivalent to "very good".

It's the second-most-common interpretation where "very good" doesn't seem to be the intended meaning. Commonly used in phrases like "Napoleon was a great man." Basically means "historically important."
