Uber freight What's the culture at Uber like these days in the PM/design/engineering groups? Lots of bad press and vibes years ago, is it still like that or has new management turned around?

I’ve heard mixed things about Uber, even with the new management. The culture in PM/design/engineering seems to be evolving, with more focus on inclusivity and work-life balance, but it really depends on the team. Some say it’s improved, but there’s still a lot of pressure. Have you heard anything specific?

Nope! I was just thinking that 1. it seems like their business is maturing well; Uber Eats is huge and profitable, they're still top player in rideshare, and they are positioning as a marketplace with added inventory from taxis and autonomous (partnership with Waymo), and 2. I haven't seen any bad press in a while. Are they on the cusp of being more traditional "big tech" and shedding the toxic startup culture?

I just started looking for a job and made some profiles on various job boards. I'm getting a lot of emails from recruiters that look like this. Whenever I talk to them on the phone it's very hard to hear them and the whole thing just seems a bit fishy. They ask for my DOB, and one asked if I would sign something so they could market my profile. Is this a scam?
I've censored names, addresses, and phone numbers.
