the current uber hating seems like hive mind. without a doubt, the stories coming out of uber are not good. but i work at a unicorn and can unequivocally state that things are not vastly different here -- few to no female devs (and other specific roles too), little diversity, plenty of sexism, lots of politics, and huuuge assholes abound. if any of our stories happened at uber, it would be front page news. and my guess there is plenty of this around the industry. these firms get away with bad management by turning it around on employees... "if you see a problem, find a solution and fix it". this cuts both ways... no one blocks you from doing what you think is important (which is great), but equally no one steps in to play the role of mgmt when it matters (which sucks). in uber's case, the negative side to this culture is more on view than anywhere else. uber may be amongst the worst of the tech companies when it comes to this, but i certainly don't think they are an outlier.
