Can I somehow register to be an Uber employee on the app without actually being one? Would love to read all the crap employees are going through as lessons learned when I start my own company (one day). Any ideas? The blind app requires an uber.com email address. Any employees want to help out a fellow HN'er?

WTF how stupid is that? You use a company address to sign up, leaving trails within an internal mail service...

Just got the app. Apparently you just need to add your work email as your primary email on LinkedIn.

Yeah, I wondered the same thing. Verification by company email reduces spam/noise, so I understand why it's done. Probably useful to have non-employees filtered out. But there's no way I'd trust the service enough to use it. Not to mention my latent fear of a data breach/leak ruining my career.

Aren't there any company mailing list addresses someone can provide? Someone inside uber needs to have some connections with IT - could be done easily I think. No email will be sent I am assuming? Or is there a verification step where one has to click on a link? Someone who has the app should verify.

You could try spoofing your email address with the correct reply-to?

(if you do find any vulnerabilities you should of course report them responsibly)
