Process
The process went well, but the coding test was not typical. I didn't prepare well at that time. There was a system design test. A couple of rounds were easy, and the others were not.
Questions
They asked for a recursive function.

Reshaping the future

Pros: There are few other places where you get a chance to make such a huge impact on people's everyday lives.
Uber has an army of the smartest, most driven individuals giving their 100% towards the mission of reliable, safe transportation. Success is not surprising; it's the obvious outcome.
Cons: When you're tackling the toughest problems in the world, don't expect it to be easy. Work at Uber is hard and requires a lot of focus. Stress is common, but it's the nature of the beast.

Exciting Growth, Long Hours
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
October 31, 2014
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???
