Software Engineer ATG Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
The process began with a typical phone screen, followed by an onsite interview.
The onsite interview was fairly standard.
It consisted of a chat with the hiring manager, followed by a couple of data science algorithm questions and a design question.
During one of the coding rounds, the interviewer seemed uninterested in my solution and more focused on texting.
Despite presenting an optimized, working solution on the whiteboard without any syntax errors, I was rejected, with the feedback stating I was not strong in coding.

Pros: I strongly believe in the company's mission. While other top tech companies are all competing to steal your time, Uber is giving you the time back by getting you, things, or food from point A to point B as fast as possible.
Almost everyone I know uses our products, and it feels great to know how it works internally and to be able to influence its future.
There are a lot of interesting challenges with plenty of opportunities to have impact.
It's a great team.
Cons: Uber receives a lot of attention in the news. When it's not positive, it can be discouraging.

Exciting Growth, Long Hours

Pros: As a software engineer, there are a limitless number of different things to work on, and I'm working with a lot of other very excited and smart people – the best.
Huge opportunity to learn and grow professionally as the company continues to hire more people. Equity compensation is very compelling, too good to say no.
The executives are very transparent with regards to the company's performance.
Free breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day, plus tons of fresh fruit and snacks.
Cons: We are growing so fast, meaning code evolves just as fast.
It feels a little overwhelming, but it's exciting to make a personal goal to grow to be able to keep up.
While I've never been asked to stay more than 40 hours/week, there is a strong vibe to work long hours, and I've had to reconsider how I spend my non-work hours to be more efficient (maybe that's a good thing?).
Not enough uber swag; I have to pay for my hoodie???
