You get to work with some of the best folks in tech, at least you used to. There are interesting problems to solve at scale.
Leadership used to be highly energetic, smart people with vision. The current CEO has slowly replaced those with corporate drones with limited tech experience who can mostly run a tape loop of asking for KPIs and keep folks busy with useless tactical reviews. Innovation has basically stalled and endless slide shows of almost the tiniest details have taken over.
I have an onsite with uber ATG next week. Is the interview process similar to uber SWE? Most of my interviews are zoom interviews (video conferencing). Do zoom interviews have whiteboarding or coding on a laptop? Haven't done a zoom interview before. Anything I should know about? Thanks!
I am on the other side of the country. Uber and Amazon have both allowed video conference. Does Facebook?

Am I missing something ? I often see google, Microsoft, Netflix, Uber design teams come to conferences and share their product design practices. Never seen apple in one, Why ? too much work or no freedom to share with the design community ? #design #apple #ux #
It seems TK has cancelled the appearance over ongoing investigation into sexual harassment case. It reminds me of our President not releasing his tax returns because of tax audit. https://www.recode.net/2017/5/1/15498026/uber-travis-kalanick-arianna-huffington-code-conference

Hi Everyone, I am scheduled to do a quick conference interview for a “SaaS engineer” position at Uber and I was wondering if anyone can elaborate on the process and how this screening will be different or similar to a pure “software engineer” role? Much appreciate your input
