      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2015

      Interview

      I was notified that Uber was hiring software developers through the head of student outcomes at the coding bootcamp I attended. I submitted my resume to a specific recruiter at Uber and within the week we had a short phone conversation / HR screen. The language barrier was not prohibitive to our mutual understanding, but English was certainly not the recruiter's first language. I can't explain her decision to submit my resume to the 'mobile development team' even though I am a web developer with no mobile programming experience, other than maybe that is where they needed the most hiring at the time. I can't help but wonder whether the outcome may have been different had I insisted on being considered for a web developer role. Anyways, I was scheduled for a technical phone screen about a week after the first phone call, and it was conducted by a lead engineer on one of the mobile platform teams. Once again, there was a language barrier but this time pretty severe. I had to request that he call from a different number due to the connection quality which, combined with his thick accent made it impossible for me to understand. It ended up taking about 10 minutes to actually begin the interview, and I had to just deal with a poor connection because the interviewer had no access to a room WITH A PHONE/LANDLINE! He was using google hangouts to call, as was I, even though I asked if he could call me from another phone or call my cell phone directly, he ended up calling me back from the same computer on the same number. With no other choices, we started the interview.. It took five minutes and several requests to spell the words he was using in order to understand his question. Often times, questions or comments I made were met with silence or "yes", "i see" and other monosyllabic non sequiturs that are the awkward refuge for a foreign speaker pretending to converse (i know because i have been that foreigner speaker myself). I also remember several times having to ask if he was still on the phone due to long periods of silence while I was working on the problem he gave me. Even though the first fifteen to twenty minutes of the conversation were wasted with connectivity/mutual comprehension issues, once we got to within five minutes of an hour from the scheduled starting time, he asked me to quickly explain how I would finish the problem and thanked me for trying. Needless to say I did not quite finish solving the problem , but even if I had been given that extra five minutes at the end , I might have been able to finish.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Uber (São Paulo, São Paulo) in Mar 2023

      Interview

      São muitas etapas para começo de conversa. 1 - Alinhamento de expectativas com RH - bem tranquilo, papo pra saber suas experiências, expectativas de salário e como está seu inglês que é obrigatório. 2 - Entrevista técnica de resolução de problema algoritmo ao vivo R: Essa fase é uma verdadeira incógnita. Digo isso pois já fiz duas vezes a primeira vez eu não passei e não recebi nenhum feedback, mas refletindo comigo mesmo percebi alguns erros que eu cometi que realmente eram justos de eu não ter sido aprovado. Na segunda vez além de praticar resolução de algoritmos estudar estrutura de Dados estratégias para resolver problemas com boa performance de tempo espaço eu ajustei principalmente a forma com que eu organizei meus pensamentos e etapas da resolução. Da primeira vez eu tentei resolver o problema logo de cara colocando as mãos direto no código, da segunda vez não, eu realmente fiz muitas perguntas relevantes para descobrir restrições e casos de borda do problema, e depois comecei um planejamento sem ainda mexer no código, apenas descrevendo os passos que eu iria tomar, estratégias mais abstratas que eu iria usar, resolvendo o problema primeiro na fase de planejamento usando informações que pesquei na fase das perguntas… Finalmente comecei a fazer o código consegui resolver o problema seguindo exatamente o planejamento escrito que fiz antes, e o tempo todo desde o início eu expus meus pensamentos através da fala e trabalhando junto com os entrevistadores para resolver o problema cheguei na fase de otimizar o algoritmo, porém não sobrou muito tempo, mas consegui fazer 50% da implementação que eu pensei para otimizar e os entrevistadores pareciam satisfeitos e entenderam onde eu queria chegar na otimização… Disseram que nos próximos dias eu receberia os próximos passos e fiquei feliz em saber que iria para a fase de System Design, porém dois dias depois recebi a negativa dizendo que decidiram não continuar com o meu processo. Fiquei em dúvida dessa vez pois sei que posso ter cometido erros, mas sei que os erros não foram suficiente para uma negativa para a próxima fase, então sinceramente não sei o que as entrevistas técnicas da Uber querem dos candidatos parecem que eles criaram uma padrão tão restrito dentro de uma caixinha que se você sair desse padrão 1 cm você já não é bem-vindo. Sinceramente não penso mais em fazer processos da Uber são cansativos, causam ansiedade de mais, e muita das vezes não resultam em nada e você não recebe nenhum feedback sobre o que pode melhorar….

      Talked to recruiter over a period of months. First phone screen went great. Some online coding questions and general conversation. Second phone screen was a complete disaster- poor audio connection with someone who did not speak English.
