What's the vibe on this guy? https://techcrunch.com/2018/06/13/uber-brings-on-facebook-product-director-to-lead-driver-app/
Lol - perfect for Uber :) don’t worry there isn’t any better you can get - he was hated so much.
There's credible information that he would be a goner had he stayed for this performance review cycle.
Can confirm the same reputation at Shazam...
Good luck :D
I worker with this guy closely. He plays politics and expects to get ahead with that. Don’t know a single person who has something good to say about him
Danker was an abrasive leader and was 100% pushed out of Shazam for questionable behavior around female colleagues and clients, playing politics, land grabbing for parts of the business where he had no experience, and never producing results. He always had to be the smartest person in the room and used that as his intimidation factor. It's likely he'll be posted somewhere new in 18 months. Good luck, Uber as you try to rebuild your reputation from Travis Kalanick, this is hardly forward momentum.
100% agree on the questionable behavior at Shazam (and probably everywhere else he’s been), but I know for a fact that he wasn’t pushed out. Should’ve been...
This is the exact description of him at Uber. Wants to be the smartest person in a room (but fails mostly because we have enough assholes better than him at politics and playing smart). He thinks he intimidates but at Uber that’s not true. Tons of backstabbers with bigger egos here at Uber. Let’s see how long he lasts.
Lefty Knox, you did an awesome job with Assaf Ronan. Will your CEO see this post as well?
He’s every middle managements wet dream. Every single person saying good things about him on his internal goodbye post are other middle management schmucks that he plays politics with to elevate his own self ego. No ICs from engineering or data even liked his goodbye post for a good reason. So he’s a great fit for Uber 🤣
He’s by far the worst I have ever worked around. He’s clueless and pushes his opinions that are so wrong. He is a bully, abusive, passive aggressive, vindictive, and just the worst manager with zero idea what product is and I have nothing but a massive list of shitty things to say. If you are at Uber stay away from him. He’s the worst you can ever imagine. Have no idea how he landed this job.
We had a thread about this guy on FB blind. Almost everyone who has worked with him hates him. Word is he got pushed out. Good luck Uber.
Why do they hate him?
Ineffective middle manager, enjoy him!
