Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

Process

I had an initial call with a recruiter who wanted to gauge my understanding of Uber's business model and interest in the company.

Then, I had a phone call with the hiring manager before coming in for four onsite interviews.

The interviewers all spent a good amount of time getting to know me before moving on to the technical portion, which was mostly coding on a whiteboard.

Things were a bit hectic when I interviewed; Uber had outgrown the office, and interviews were done in a quiet corner.

Also, the list of interviewers changed quite a bit.

Another notable thing was that Uber was the only company that asked how I handle stress.

All signs of rapid growth, but not necessarily a bad thing.
