Maybe I'm overreacting to comments on HN and other social media. The CEO of a successful startup publicly said he wouldn't hire someone from Uber.

Many HN comments on articles about Uber share the same opinion. Several of these commenters were founders of software companies.

Did Microsoft have a reputation for sexual harassment and toxic managers? I don't know much about Microsoft in the 90s.

Thanks!

As long as I stayed with that employer for longer than a year I would be fine, or would the period of job-hopping look bad permanently?

Ask HN: Should I quit Uber?

I'm a software engineer at Uber. I've been there for under a year. I left my previous job because an Uber recruiter offered a large pay increase. I had been there for under a year as well.Is it worse to have the job hopping on my resume or a very unpopular company on there?Staying for a while wouldn't be hard on me. My team and the ones around me aren't toxic (yet). I'm strictly concerned...
