Process
I just finished my second-round interview and wanted to warn any potential candidates.
There were two phone interviews, with no behavioral content and no information about the interviewers beforehand. The entire interview was a coding challenge.
The process felt extremely non-transparent. Recruiters only engaged with me to schedule more interviews, and there was no clarity on how the process is moving forward or what the placement process looks like.
This seems like a great place if you want no sense of autonomy in your internship and just want the "Big N" tech name.
All in all, the interview gives you no chance to differentiate yourself as a candidate or learn about the company.

Uber Work Experiences
- 5.0Amazing Work, Truly MattersSenior Quality Analyst • Current EmployeeNoneFebruary 23, 2021Pros: Amazing working at Uber. Work, work.Cons: Nothing really matters; anyone is enjoying.
- 3.0Talented engineers, but sketchy upper managementSoftware Engineering, Self-Driving • Former EmployeeJanuary 15, 2021Pros: I interned at Uber ATG while it still existed (self-driving unit). I had the opportunity to work with a lot of talented engineers in the machine learning space.Cons: Upper management is the big issue; this transfers to Uber main as well. Even as an intern, I could tell that the new CEO (Dara) says a lot of pretty words but ultimately commits to nothing of value. He doesn't speak directly to the truth, nor does he have a clear logical plan he is willing to be honest about. He was clearly brought in to turn a profit (which isn't necessarily a bad thing), but he didn't really display a solid understanding of innovation as he went about his monetary goal. For example, many self-driving companies don't have a separately dedicated R&D unit, yet Uber's did (and was burning cash). Why wasn't his first step to reduce the size of the R&D unit (like Aurora did immediately after buying Uber ATG)? He didn't break down the problem logically; he just decided to jettison the whole thing after he waited around too long.
- 5.0Exciting career, epic business, top engineering talentSenior Software Engineer, iOS • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesMay 11, 2015Pros: Very sharp engineers, driven to succeed. Lots of engineers from other top tech companies like Facebook, Google, Apple, Amazon, etc. This gives us the ability to replicate what makes sense, and leave behind what doesn't. It's a fresh start. The overall mission of the company makes total sense. Being a part of an epic disruption story is exciting. Revenues are astronomic, in uncharted territory for a start-up / private company. This makes 2015 an extremely good time to join. I work as hard as any other Silicon Valley engineer. We work hard, but not too hard, and there is work/life balance.Cons: - If you don't live in SF, your commute will suck.
