Process
Very typical interview with other tech companies. The difficulty of the problem was probably a LeetCode Medium.
Nothing else special about the interview. It had some quick intros and I asked questions to the interviewer afterwards.
Questions
Typical LeetCode-style question solvable with an array.

Challenging Cs, Tough Balance
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
October 29, 2014
Pros: Uber has been the first place that I've worked wherein I actually use computer science and can't solve problems by copying and pasting things from Stack Overflow.
Cons: Work/life balance isn't the best unless you're fine being best friends with your workmates.
There are a lot of growing pains, though scaling at a mind-boggling rate is an interesting problem in its own right.

An awesome engineering atmosphere where you make a huge impact
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
October 29, 2014
Pros: Amazing culture and atmosphere. The interactions you have in the first few weeks really get you excited about the company and make you feel like a big part of the development process.
Really talented people across the whole company. Can always depend on people in my team and other engineering teams when I need to collaborate on something.
Cons: - Things break when they probably shouldn't because of an emphasis on getting them out super quickly.

The leadership hiring team in India needs improvement
Software Engineer • Former Employee
March 12, 2023
Pros: To the staffing coordinator at Uber Bangalore,
On more than one occasion, I had different individuals from Uber recruiting reach out for recruitment opportunities through LinkedIn. After responding to the message, I never heard back from them again. If they are not interested in following through, why even bother sending a message and wasting people's time?
This is quite unprofessional behavior, especially for someone trying to hire for senior positions, and it does not reflect well on your organization.
Cons: Disappointing behaviour from recruiters who should know better.
