Time working on Caltrain towards work hours?
Not bashing or criticizing, let's keep it civil. At Google and other companies I've worked at, things like the recent developments at Uber (harassment, sexism, CEO taking employees to a whorehouse, etc.) would cause major internal revolts and criticism. How are the rank-and-file employees at Uber reacting? Keeping their heads down and just ignoring the issue? Non-public but visible internal revolts? Non-visible revolt (just between colleagues but not visible to managers and other employees)?
Don't care much about recent news as I'm tired of all internal things. Many lowballed colleagues, unfair rating, unfair bonus, shitty work. I spend most of time doing nothing now. Many colleagues are doing the same thing.
Yeah, we've overhired way beyond the actual requirements of our business and spend most of our time cleaning up after one another.
Do you and your colleagues believe that the culture is FUBAR (fucked up beyond any repair) and is a lost cause or that it can be changed?
Describe recent ?
I am excited about building the future. Lots of news recently has been demoralizing, but we have a great opportunity in front of us to make ourselves better, and make Uber an even better place to be. Particularly from the work experience side. (As opposed to biz side which is humming along & growing lots still.) Come be part of it!
I am in eng btw
I'd consider, but you didn't really answer the question asked :)
Well, internal reaction: motivated to be part of the positive change we need to take and are already making. And similar sentiment about recent events.
But how "internally public" is that sentiment? - People just talking to each other o. the hallways and water cooler? - People talking inside their teams and to managers? - People openly talking and complaining to the leadership?
All of above. As has been reported on (for mostly better & occasionally worse)
Pissed off. Love my projects and immediate team but hate the unjust, unfair, toxic workplace. I would have enjoyed staying on this team and project but I am interviewing.
Thanks for the reply, and good luck!

I feel relieved cause I quit last week
Low morale, half my team looking to leave/transfer, those who are left and more resilient against this are actively trying really hard to fix things. Projects range from super interesting to super dull depending on the team. Perf and comp is a total shit show. Promos is a total shit show.
low morale among the rank and files wherever I look. many of us are actively preparing for interview while also waiting to see if things will change for the better.
Zero impact. We have super high morale and great productivities. Love the job!
what do you think about the contrary responses from the other Uber folks here? Are they just low performers
No, they are in different teams. A lot of them don't have much of work anyway, for example, the rider team. When you have too much free time, you start to worry.
Why are you so obsessed with us
Genuinely curious about how the rank-and-file culture matches, or not, the perceived company culture.
because you guys are so bizarre it's not like a company in developed world, and people are curious of strange things
