Process
A recruiter contacted me by email. I had a 10-minute chat with another recruiter. They arranged a 45-minute phone screening.
The screening was odd. The screener was another engineering manager (who could not be found on LinkedIn) and did not know the exact position the interview was for. Neither could she tell me who the hiring manager was, stating, "Uber just does general talent acquisition."
