Through the years, Uber's proven to be a controversial company. It came under the spotlight in 2018 after allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination were reported by employees. Uber was forced to cough up $1.9 million in fines to the 54 employees who were harassed, and the company also shoveled out $11,000 each for the 485 people that were discriminated against. A year earlier, Uber's then-CEO and founder Travis Kalanick had resigned following investor demands.
