Can you give the gist? You piqued my interest, but the app looks like the rabbit hole I'd rather not go down.

  There seem to be two modes. First, it seems everyone hates it there and management is terrible and people get fired with no severance all the time. The other mode is aggressive recruiting. Here's an actual interaction I had: Me: I'm torn between doing something new and staying where I'm at. Random Uber employee: Hey, you should join Uber. Hit me up and I'll refer you. Me: I can assure you I'm not interested. Random Uber employee: Wuss...

    Uber employee here, and I can tell you that almost everyone I know loves working here. I apologize for the behavior of the random douchebag employee you encountered, I would hope most of us wouldn't act like that.

    Is it really that easy to get a referral? I'm applying for internships and I applied to Uber (online) a while ago and have heard nothing. Meanwhile, all but one of the places I have been interviewed (Google, Amazon, etc.) were places where I friend referred me. The interview rate has been 70% for places I've been referred vs. 3% for places I haven't, so getting one has been key. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to join Blind since I don't have a work email that they're available to.
