Recruiter phone screen, followed by a video call interview with the hiring manager, Assignment/Exercise, another recruiter call discussing benefits, on-site interviews. The Recruiter was not prepared to phone screen me. She said she was locked out of her system and did not have my resume in front of her. She used my LinkedIn account to conduct the screen. It was obvious that she had not reviewed my resume prior to speaking. I was scheduled for a video conference meeting with the hiring manager. The hiring manager never showed up. I emailed with the recruiting coordinator to see what was up. The recruiting team was unable to locate her and we rescheduled the hiring manager interview. I never received any form of explanation or apology for the no show. I joined the rescheduled hiring manager interview and the hiring manager I was scheduled with was not on the call. Instead a new hiring manager was on the call. I felt unprepared as I had done my research on the original hiring manager. I had to ask the new hiring manager on the call who he was. I was not notified of his existence going into the interview. The creative exercise was assigned to me over a 3-day weekend. The recruiter emailed me on Friday at 5:00 PM with the assignment. They request a 48 hour turn around for the assignment. The assignment had you outline three ideas for increasing peer to peer knowledge/learning at a fictitious company. It asked 5 questions. I submitted a 9 page completed exercise. I was never asked to discuss or review it during on site interviews. Onsite interviews were with five different individuals. They relentlessly used the word scrappy to describe themselves and their ideal candidate. They also prided themselves on having having a team lacing in any formal training or learning and development work experience. From my perspective the team appeared to have a very bro culture. I was asked about their value of 'Always be Hustlin'" . I'm surprised I didn't barf on the table after hearing that question. Obviously, I was not an appropriate culture fit for Uber. I think at this point in time one may be able to take some pride in that. I asked about their PR crisis and the some of the interviewers were visibly annoyed at my questions. One of the interviewers blamed the entire crisis on the handful of individuals who were fired after the ongoing investigation. I did not receive a response that would indicate anyone I was interviewed by had prepared for questions about their company culture. I had a recruiter conversation about benefits and compensation during the interview process. I was told that Uber does not give any pay range prior to an offer being made. My overall view of the team I interviewed with was that they are unorganized and inexperienced. I was rubbed the wrong way with questions pertaining to their company culture. Additionally, I found it off putting that I was stood up on an interview by a hiring manager. Additionally, when the recruiter called to tell me of the team's decision not to make an offer, she told me that she didn't want me to feel bad about myself. I felt this was a pretty immature response from the recruiter. I doubt she would have said that to a man. I rocked those interviews and I wouldn't change a thing about what I said or how I presented myself. Uber was definitely not a great fit for me professionally. I wouldn't have loved working their and they wouldn't have appreciated my talent. In no way should a recruiter imply that anyone should feel bad about their interview experience. It was completely unprofessional.

Cohesive process, initial phone screen was very short and to the point, I got time with the hiring manager, had good panel interviews, felt appreciated and welcomed. Lots of opportunity to expand on my experiences.
