Uber has been mired in controversy in recent years.
With allegations of toxic company culture, poor leadership, and numerous lawsuits, the ride-share company hired a new CEO in order to fix its image. Over the weekend, former Expedia CEO Dara Khosrowshahi accepted the new executive role, replacing his infamous predecessor Travis Kalanick.
