Why would working at Uber be a detractor on a resume? It's major company with assuredly hefty tech - regardless of the HR issues rampant, shouldn't the hire be based on merit not association?
- zemo 8y agoIf you work for someone that does a bad thing, you are helping them do the bad thing. You are actively making the bad thing happen, and by doing so, you are also doing a bad thing. I think Uber is a bad thing. If you work for Uber, you have helped create a bad thing. At that point, I do not trust your judgement, and I do not want to work with people whose judgement I do not trust.

- kfrzcode 8y agoFollowing your logic, then anyone who perhaps simply took an Uber to the interview should be off the list because they're providing revenue and therefore helping Uber do more of the Bad Thing....Uber clearly has an engineering staff still, and you can't tell me they're all Bad People doing Bad Things - that's unreasonable. Should we bar military veterans from these development jobs because the Military Industrial Complex has a toxic culture of killing millions around the world for profit?
