Process
I applied online, talked to the recruiter, and then scheduled a technical screen.
When the time for the screen came, the interviewer seemed pretty junior.
The question was standard, but it seemed like they were calibrating based on newly graduated CS majors.

Great place to work, intense, innovative, and fast-growing
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
October 27, 2014
Pros: The team at Uber is truly awesome. Right from the CEO to the engineer right out of college, everyone seems to be self-driven, optimistic, and a go-getter. There is a lot of product focus in the engineering ranks. The people are smart and there is a willingness to do whatever it takes. Combine this with great product-market fit, and what you have is a truly amazing company which will be the iconic company of this decade. I believe that Uber will be bigger than Facebook and Google and will touch people's lives all around the world.
Cons: There is technical debt on account of growing so fast.
There is a lot more work that needs to be done on the infrastructure side.

Smart Team, Okay Food
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
October 25, 2016
Pros: A bunch of very smart people.
Very approachable senior people on the team.
Work-life balance is really respected.
Ready to learn from mistakes in the past. I'm part of the core infrastructure group, and not everything that was done in the past was right. People accept the mistakes and are eager to learn from them.
Super-pumpedness everywhere.
Cons: My commute is not so good, and Uber credits don't really cover the fare.
Food isn't great :(
