I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Uber (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Interviewer was decent at the start but as the interview progressed, he became silent. I knew how to implement but was having some trouble compiling the code, as i had misspelled one of the c+ stl functions, and was getting errors all over the place.
Terrible experience. Recruiter reached out to me online and eventually passed me onto an interview coordinator to set up a phone screen. The phone screen itself was alright -- nothing out of the norm.
Fast forward 2 weeks and no response, so I send an email to the recruiter to follow up on my status. 1 week later, still no response -- at this point I figured they were obviously not moving on with me, but at least I had hoped for the courtesy of being rejected. I emailed the interview coordinator this time to see if there was a mix-up and immediately got a dismissive email back saying they had already sent me a rejection email 4 weeks ago and I probably missed that email because it went to spam or something.
Well guess what, the phone interview was 3 weeks ago, so either they already made their mind up to reject me before I even interviewed, or they just blatantly lied to me. Either reflects very poorly on the company and given recent PR developments, can't say I didn't expect any different.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Uber (Monterey, CA) in Feb 2015
Interview
The entire interview process was handled by my university. On the interview day I had three different interviews with different interviewers scheduled around different times throughout the day. Each interview lasted about 45 minutes were two were coding and the last one was about design.
