Software Engineer Interview Experience - Amsterdam, Netherlands

Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I had a screening interview.
I was supposed to have two interviews, but one interviewer decided not to join (we waited for him).
It looks like I got a trainee as my interviewer; he was inexperienced, and the way he "hinted" at the solution was not what I would expect.

Awesome company with insanely great values that are actually put into action
Software Engineer • Current Employee
October 11, 2016
Pros: I have gotten the opportunity to make a real-world impact. I like that about Uber.
Most companies are worried about the next social opportunity, but here at Uber, we are helping shape the future.
Cons: In some parts of the company, people feel pressured to work extremely long hours, and I even feel that pressure sometimes. I think this happens because there is pressure put on by management or senior engineers to get things done, because everything is "critical". My team does a pretty good job of this, and I feel like I have a great work/life balance, though.

Challenging Cs, Tough Balance
Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: Uber has been the first place that I've worked wherein I actually use computer science and can't solve problems by copying and pasting things from Stack Overflow.
Cons: Work/life balance isn't the best unless you're fine being best friends with your workmates.
There are a lot of growing pains, though scaling at a mind-boggling rate is an interesting problem in its own right.
