Process
First, an online assessment, then an online interview.
The online assessment consisted of LeetCode-style questions, whereas the interview focused on OOP concepts. I performed well on the online assessment but was not well-prepared for the interview.
Questions
I asked a question about designing a class for something driving-related, as opposed to algorithm questions.

A challenging place for engineers
Software Engineer II • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
December 26, 2016
Pros: - The company is still growing fast and has lots of potential in areas like auto-driving cars.
- There are always new projects to work on. Most of the time, it is hard to decide what to work on next since there are so many choices.
Cons: Organizational direction changes constantly. Uber seems to have a good vision about the long-term mission, but down to specific projects in the engineering department, chaos is present all over the place.
Politics and internal friction are increasing as company culture somehow encourages aggressiveness. You need to know how to fight for yourself, even if you are just an engineer.
