Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
The interviewer was not very personable.
The general vibe wasn't a genuine inquiry into my skills or whether I would be a good tech fit. It felt more like an ego/power trip on the interviewer's part.
If this interviewer is representative of the overall engineering culture at Uber, then I say it was a bullet dodged. Power plays over engineering.
