Process

Online assessment: 1 tech screen 4 interviews onsite

Overall, this was the single worst interview experience I've ever had. Two interviews were polite and friendly, but the remaining were incredibly rude.

I will preface this by describing a basic solution, then diving into its pros and cons.

One interviewer would interrupt me three words into every sentence to poke holes. This occurred even when I had called out a point as something to think about and stated I would return to it. In other cases, they would interrupt me to poke holes in things I had just addressed or proposed solutions for, as if they clearly weren't listening or paying attention.

Aside from this single interview being, without a doubt, the worst interview experience I've ever had, most of the interviewers ranged from disinterested and condescending to nice but having very little positive to say about working at Uber.
