• Prestigious engineering department so working there will be excellent branding to start your career
• Historically struggled with culture issues, but they have been making an active effort to fix.
• Interview process for software engineers is more technically rigorous early in the hiring process than with most other companies.

The process takes about 2 weeks on average.

Stage 1: Initial phone screen by HR.
Stage 2: A take home coding challenge
Stage 3: A technical phone interview with a hiring manager which includes a live coding exercise via an online editor.
Stage 4: A full day onsite interview with 4 technical parts and a wrap up by a manager at the end. Two parts are about whiteboard coding, 1 system design and 1 live coding. Each part tests knowledge on a specific domain: in-depth coding, architecture design, breadth of knowledge. There is a section focused on solving a real world problem and implementing then presenting your solution.

The process takes 2-6 weeks on average.

Stage 1: Initial phone screen by HR.
Stage 2: Take-home exercise The take-home divided in to three sections - SQL questions, experimental/business questions (ML), and data analysis questions.
Stage 3: A technical phone screen with data scientist at Uber.
Stage 4: An Onsite interview with 5 or 6 different interviewers: a product manager, a team manager, data scientists. There are SQL questions, machine learning problems, general back of the envelope problems.

The hiring process cans about 2 months on average

Stage 1: Initial phone screen by HR.
Stage 2: A take home design challenge
Stage 3: A phone interview with a current designer with two designers to walk them through your portfolio, the design exercise, and some previous projects.
Stage 4: An onsite Interview lasting about 6 hours. It consists of a panel presentation of your portfolio, 1:1 sessions with designers and more design exercises.

The process takes 2-4 weeks on average.

Stage 1: Initial phone screen by HR.
Stage 2: A technical interview with a product manager
Stage 3: A take home assignment
Stage 4: An hour long presentation to present your assignment to an Uber PM.
Stage 5: An onsite interview including 5-6 45 minutes interviews, with other PMs, engineers, data scientists, and managers

Mission

We ignite opportunity by setting the world in motion.

Vision

At Uber, we ignite opportunity by setting the world in motion. We take on big problems to help drivers, riders, delivery partners, and eaters get moving in more than 600 cities around the world. We welcome people from all backgrounds who seek the opportunity to help build a future where everyone and everything can move independently. If you have the curiosity, passion, and collaborative spirit, work with us, and let's move the world forward, together.

We build globally, we live locally.
We harness the power and scale of our global operations to deeply connect with the cities, communities, drivers and riders that we serve, every day.

We are customer obsessed.
We work tirelessly to earn our customers' trust and business by solving their problems, maximizing their earnings or lowering their costs. We surprise and delight them. We make short-term sacrifices for a lifetime of loyalty.

We celebrate differences.
We stand apart from the average. We ensure people of diverse backgrounds feel welcome. We encourage different opinions and approaches to be heard, and then we come together and build.

We do the right thing.
Period.

We act like owners.
We seek out problems and we solve them. We help each other and those who matter to us. We have a bias for action and accountability. We finish what we start and we build Uber to last. And when we make mistakes, we'll own up to them.

We persevere.
We believe in the power of grit. We don't seek the easy path. We look for the toughest challenges and we push. Our collective resilience is our secret weapon.

We value ideas over hierarchy.
We believe that the best ideas can come from anywhere, both inside and outside our company. Our job is to seek out those ideas, to shape and improve them through candid debate, and to take them from concept to action.

We make big bold bets.
Sometimes we fail, but failure makes us smarter. We get back up, we make the next bet, and we go!
