Answer preview
A significant problem in the company that went to the limelight was the sexual harassment cases reported by employees. In 2017, a former employee, Susan Fowler, who held the position of Uber’s engineer, reported being a victim of sexual harassment by a manager (Haugh, 2017). Furthermore, Fowler complained that HR disrespected her, got blocked from moving to another team, and denied her an opportunity to advance her career at the firm.
