Uber is definitely still innovating. Although there are a few players in this space already, the problems these companies are solving are fairly new. Having said that, Uber innovates every day and they don't think twice before adopting a new technology or changing their current methods. People are very smart and are always willing to work extra to make Uber a better platform.
What I have seen is people are pretty work-oriented and don't really communicate much as a team (except for work-related topics).
Meetings are generally quiet and only talk about work and nothing else. Nobody shares their personal stories or experiences.
It feels strictly like work!
I can't really tell if it's the same always because I have only started working after COVID and have been WFH since the beginning. But I think general communication is important to build confidence and trust among team members.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 months. - The first stage was a phone screen with more basic DSA questions, such as easy and medium levels. - This was followed by another live coding stage. - Then there was a business interview wit
Phone screening: one hour with a technical/algorithmic question. Phone call with prospective manager for culture-fit etc. (also one hour). In-office interview: around five hours with several rounds of algorithmic, systems, and culture questions.
There were a total of 6 rounds, as follows: - OA: Easy to medium. - 2 DSA: LeetCode-style, easy to medium. - 1 LLD: Mostly focused on patterns. - 1 HLD: Designing a payment gateway, difficult. - Managerial.
