Process
There was one onsite interview on campus.
This was followed by one telephone interview.
Both used CodePad, or some shared workspace with compiling and code execution ability.
The first question was easy. The second question was a design problem, which I enjoyed.
Both interviewers were pleasant.

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.
- 5.0Uber is going to be a great companyBig Data Engineer • Current EmployeeLos Angeles, California, United StatesDecember 15, 2016Pros: Few professions seem so openly hostile to their current members as software engineering. We expect people to do live engineering on a whiteboard under stressful interview conditions.Cons: You can probably expect mostly algorithms and maybe one system design. They let you use a whiteboard or computer.
- 5.0Software Engineer, Uber ATG (Advanced Technologies Group)Software Engineer • Current EmployeePittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United StatesJune 20, 2017Pros: Super smart, kind, thoughtful people, super interesting problems, and the benefits of a start-up and an established company. In my experience, the media narrative just does not line up with the reality inside Uber. The people here are not "brogrammers" – they're serious software engineers that are passionate about solving a really, really hard problem. This is at the ATG Pittsburgh location, mind you, so I can't comment on SF. But here, at least, I know it's awesome. And by the way, the company is trying very hard to change what problems do exist in the culture. It's not just a show for the outside. Everyone takes it very seriously, and there have been incidents in which the employees took a stand as a group to hold someone accountable for actions that violated our values.Cons: Mostly the outside image. Explaining to your friends. Having to justify to friends why you support Uber and why Uber is a good company. But if you believe that fixing a problem that causes 30,000 deaths and countless more accidents a year is important, then come work at ATG.
