the hiring process is kinda messy, but the people there including recruiters seem very nice, so they are making efforts to make things work. The team hire structure can be hit or miss, interviewers are less prepared, nothing ensures a consistent high bar. less of getting talents more of filling the positions.
the offer making process really shows the philosophy of the company. people are hired for working on tasks, not to help building a great company. Very much a top down structure than eng driven like google. Seems that engs are just expected to follow orders, not to think or improve.
the stock option is offered without mentioning the current fair market value, only throwing big potential growth, red flag 1, getting arrogant and cold when trying to negotiate, red flag 2.
If future employees are not treated with respect, hard to imagine how things would be when actually working there.

Other Software Engineer Interview Reviews for Uber
Very smooth, interviewers were friendly, on-site and all interviews in the same day. Managed to grab lunch and talk about the company culture. Good guidance throughout the process. Two coding, two system design, one bar raiser, one hiring manager.
