SDEII Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I was contacted by a recruiter.
There was a quick discussion with the recruiter about expectations and experience.
One phone interview was scheduled, which went very smoothly.
Then I was called to SF for an onsite interview. There were four 1:1 interviews during the onsite: coding, algorithms, design, and with the hiring manager. The interviewers were very helpful and positive.

- 5.0Feels great to be a part of the next big thing in techiOS Software Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesAugust 13, 2015Pros: In tech, we have seen a few major waves: Productivity desktop software, the Internet, search, e-commerce, smartphones, and social. Each of these things had a front-runner company that left its mark on tech. The next big thing is the on-demand app economy, and Uber is the front-runner for that. It feels great to ride this wave, both in terms of personal finances and the impact we're able to make. The overall company objectives are awesome too. I mean, why shouldn't a person be able to give another person a ride for a fee, so long as we can guarantee 99.9%+ safety? Uber is at the center of an epic disruptive story, and it's so fun to see how it plays out.Cons: It's in SF, so commutes can suck, but that's about it.
