Just working within that arrangement doesn't make them good/bad nice/mean. But I see the on-demand events to collect winter clothing for people in need. I've seen them do similar things over the past few years. I've seen them work hard to provide economic opportunities for tens of thousands of people.
I'm not giving them any awards just for participating. I'm seeing a company working hard to change the world and doing it in a way that doesn't seem "mean". I see competitors crying about things being unfair (but I don't buy the argument because I'm of the opinion that private contractors should have all the opportunities they can get, not limited by non-compete agreements like we see in other industries). I see blogs masquerading as real journalism posting attack articles (which happens to coincide with reports that one of their competitors was upset that they weren't acquired by Uber and had threatened to go "nuclear").
What I don't see is enough to make me think they're "mean" or "bad". I guess I take the obvious attack pieces with a grain of salt (spurned competitors who are struggling are going to do everything they can to dirty Uber's name, that makes me think less of their competitors not Uber). It's possible that I'm missing something, but I haven't seen anything that would suggest they're actually mean, and I haven't met anyone who has an actual report that would suggest such a thing either.
