Inside Uber’s Aggressive, Unrestrained Workplace Culture
[edit] Tomluck pointed out below that this post can be misinterpreted. I don&#x27;t want to discount people&#x27;s experiences - and there is definitely work to be done. But at the same time there is a lot of great things too, so we can have a healthy perspective. Thanks to those who are discussing it!<p>---<p>I could go into detail about my experience at Uber (which is great), but a friend and coworker I really admire did a much better job. Here&#x27;s her LinkedIn post:<p>&quot;Uber has been a lot in news lately, and not for all good reasons. While as an Uber employee, I think there are things (in fact, many things!) we can do better, one thing that I couldn&#x27;t agree less with are the allegations of Uber being a discriminatory, anti-women culture.<p>&quot;While I am deeply saddened with what was recently brought to light, and being a woman, demand that the investigation is urgently, unbiasedly done, I also want to say that as a woman, an immigrant woman, I have never felt even an iota of discrimination, let alone harassment.<p>&quot;When I moved to the US about a year ago, with no job and plenty of dreams, Uber was one of the few companies that gave me a chance to prove myself in a new country. And, since then, I haven&#x27;t just survived, but thrived here. I look forward to coming to work daily, making my contribution, and having a say in shaping a company that&#x27;s changing so much around us. Again, I feel deeply sorry for the recent situation that came into light, but I stand against anyone who generalizes that Uber epitomizes a discriminatory culture for it couldn&#x27;t be further from truth.<p>&quot;[Her] Disclaimer: These views are my personal views, and in no way linked to my employer&#x27;s. I just feel an overwhelming need for sharing my personal experience working at a place that has given me so much in terms of learning and growth.&quot;
