Spoke to the recruiter who scheduled a phone screen. I had no idea about the team before the interview. It felt like a junior person was interviewing me shadowed by a senior person.
I was asked to implement a API rate limiter in the UI. No one has ever asked such a question. Was totally unexpected. No useful hints from the interviewer. Felt like they were uninterested.
At the end I asked what the role was about. To which he replied the manager will make sure you get work that you will enjoy. Answer was very amateurish. Was not a very positive experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Uber in Apr 2018
Interview
Only phonescreen and the recruiter was kind enough to articulate all the great details about the role and position. More discussions to follow and I was asked for provide multiple schedule for additional round. Overall they were accommodative of my schedule
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
I liked the engineers I met during the onsite but the internal Uber recruiters were a pain to deal with. Even after I had passed my onsite and was in the team matching phase they would promise to follow up by a certain date and then I wouldn't hear anything until I reached out myself. The conversations felt abrasive with them saying things such as "Should I even bother using my time to look for a team for you if we can only give you <X> in compensation?". In general the process felt unprofessional and disorganized. Not the type of company culture I want to be around...
