Yes and as an employee looking from the inside out, I see how negative the press is, and before I joined Uber I was biased by the media coverage as well. But everything I've seen on the inside directly goes against the media coverage I've seen. Take it with a grain of salt obviously.

Uber has hired drivers in my country who it turns out are medically unfit to hold a driver's license, while running ads claiming they do exhaustive background checks.

That is not "the media". Your employer is totally unethical.

I've seen first-hand uber employees doing things on behalf of the company that are even more unethical than what's being reported in the press.

Member when Uber hired teams to book and ditch rides with their competitors? Member when they hired a private investigator to dig up dirt on a plaintiff who was suing them?

They might be ethical towards you. They're not ethical towards me, the person being driven, nor towards the Uber driver who's driving me.
