Software Engineer Interview Experience - Amsterdam, Netherlands
Process
My advice: Don't apply if you are not in Amsterdam, because they won't fly you there!
The first stage was a half-hour HR call. This was followed by a one-hour phone interview focusing on your programming and system design skills, including one coding challenge and a small system design exercise. If you pass, you will be invited to the Amsterdam office for an on-site interview.
The HR representative was very unprofessional, and I strongly do not recommend applying if you don't want to waste your time.
I passed the phone screen and was invited to Amsterdam. However, when HR learned that I am not located in the Netherlands, they stopped responding to my emails and Skype messages.

Uber Work Experiences
- 2.0Good Pay, Chaotic EngineeringSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesJune 8, 2021Pros: Solid compensation Market leader, international presence Social coworkersCons: Chaotic and inconsistent engineering practices. Not an engineering-driven culture despite billing themselves as a tech company; too quick to utilize ops bandaids over technical infrastructure. Tight deadlines. Questionable ethics.
- 4.0Flexible Hours, Little TipsSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeDecember 11, 2022Pros: Flexible hours and work whenever you want.Cons: No tips most of the time.
- 5.0Uber: Meaningful, Impactful, Collaborative EnvironmentSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesJuly 5, 2016Pros: Working at Uber has been, by far, the best move I've made for my career. The work environment is fast-paced, and each employee (engineer, designer, data scientist, etc.) moves quickly and efficiently to meet their goals. Everyone holds themselves and each other to a high standard, and this creates a culture of passion, commitment, and most importantly, collaboration. Uber's driven employees, paired with the noble mission of making transportation as reliable as running water, makes for an incredible work experience, and I'd highly recommend software engineers (among other roles) to apply.Cons: Uber is a rapidly growing company, and as a result, the onboarding process could be streamlined a bit more. But otherwise, I don't have any complaints!
