(Disclaimer: I work at Uber, my views are my own, etc)
I joined a few months before Dara took over as CEO, sort of right in the middle of the storm; long story...
Anyways, to be honest, I think the company has done a lot to get itself back on track since Dara took over. There was extensive investigation about employee misconduct after the Fowler incident (culminating in some 200 cases being reviewed by an independent firm, with substantiated cases resulting in termination) and training policies were implemented; the 2016 data breach cover-up incident resulted in the head of security being fired; espionage programs were shut-down; and the company is in full cooperation w/ investigations about the Tempe SDV killing incident.
With all that said, I don't want to sound like I'm defending Uber, just giving my two cents as an insider, given that media tends to focus on the shocking negatives but not necessarily on the follow ups.
I think more than considering how media portrays a company, it might be more fruitful to consider its size, since smaller companies have different dynamics than larger ones, and might be more suitable to one's preferences/experience than the alternative.
