"... the 'cultural' interview where there gave me an example of them knowingly breaking the law because "they knew they were right" and then asked if I had a similar work experience"

Incredible. Isn't this how mafia organizations hire?

I don't know if this interview method would expose Uber to liability under organized crime laws, but maybe it should.

Breaking the law in front of your peers is seen, apparently, as a good way to build trust in criminal organisations.

Having sat through it (but not having experience in law) I don't believe it would.

I'm sure the interviewer and the rest of Uber would say they didn't break the law; only that they enabled and took maybe encouraged others to.

Not a lawyer, but.. If they admitted this much I'm pretty sure that would count under RICO. After all, mafia bosses never actually kill anyone or sell drugs.. they only 'enable' and 'encourage' others to..

"The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, commonly referred to as the RICO Act or simply RICO, is a United States federal law that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization. The RICO Act focuses specifically on racketeering, and it allows the leaders of a syndicate to be tried for the crimes which they ordered others to do or assisted them in doing, closing a perceived loophole that allowed a person who instructed someone else to, for example, murder, to be exempt from the trial because he did not actually commit the crime personally.[1]"

'Mafias' in the broad sense and the Cosa Nostra in particular don't often interview external candidates. /sorry

Organized crime doesn't have to work exactly like the Cosa Nostra to qualify. I guess neither of us know enough about the relevant law to take this discussion much further.
