Site Reliability Engineer Interview Experience - Amsterdam, Netherlands
Process
The interview process started with HR reaching out. Upon a basic HR interview, I had a couple of online sessions. Following our success, we moved to an on-site interview.
People were very friendly in general on-site. The interview took 5 hours (it generally takes around 3, but mine was mixed since I also interviewed for a Backend position).
I generally liked the interview questions. I couldn't get the offer because of my lack of experience in years.

- 1.0Backstabbing, insane, entirely focused on appearancesSite Reliability Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesJanuary 13, 2017Pros: The pay is good, and they're great swindlers.Cons: There's a culture of complete incompetence, with buck-passing forever and cargo culting rampant. There's no unifying culture; there are just enclaves, each worse than the last.

Some engineers are very skilled.Cons: Internal politics ruins morale. Some of the teams are led by tech leads and managers who are not professional and stay in Uber only because of strong connections with similar higher-level managers. If you are hired by such a team, you are stuck: internal transfers are allowed only on the same level and after a year in one team – you cannot grow by moving between teams.
