I personally turned down a second round interview at Uber over their, based upon information and belief, failure to adhere to the Americans with Disabilities Act.
After hearing the stories of a handicapped friend, who happened to be attending Stanford, just attempting to get around town with a wheelchair, I decided I would never work for Uber.
For example, they labeled a vehicle as handicap accessible, and sent a tiny Acura RDX, which couldn't accommodate even a basic manual wheelchair. Their drivers were rude, disrespectful, resentful, and unkind.
She did not deserve that treatment.
They've made no real effort to comply with the ADA. And unfortunately, unlike the silly medallion laws they ignore, these violations are blatantly discriminatory.
I sent a letter saying as much to the recruiter when I withdrew my application.
