#2If you’ve followed the Kalanick story till now, there’s nothing new in this article. However, it’s interesting to see it all put together.
Anyone know what it’s like inside Uber today?

#3> “Until 2017, you could go into Uber on any given day and half the T-shirts were Uber T-shirts,” says one executive. “They disappeared overnight. People didn’t want to wear Uber stuff.”

Significantly better with Dara who understands the needs for a peacetime ceo. Happy to field any specific questions.

Forgot to mention I’m an Uber employee.

#6What's it like to show up to work at Uber? Do people just sit there miserably while they constantly remind themselves that a "big payday" is on the way like some kind of perverse mantra?
What if the pay day never comes? How will it look when your resume says you stayed at Uber well after everything has been revealed?

If your question is sincere, it's nothing too different from going to work to any other company, especially with Dara getting to act like the good cop.

The media has reported on some fairly outrageous cultural excesses. Question -- did you experience these when Kalanick was there? Since Dara showed up, anything specific you can say about what was done and whether it "feels different" and how?
In some places the CEO is a distant figurehead, and whatever his or her values, the day-to-day experience is more dominated by your local crew of < 20 people. In other places, culture is truly pervasive. I feel like the reporting is saying that culture is pervasive at Uber, but it would be interesting to hear an inside perspective.

I don't think it looks bad on a resume. Anecdotally, all of the candidates I've interviewed who work at Uber presently have been quite good.

Uber is an unprofitable, non-public company with incredibly fierce competition that is expected to face enormous changes do to technological developments.
Why in the world would you think it needs a peacetime CEO?
