Definitely not defending Uber here - but does anyone else notice that the people who are complaining are usually the people who don't come from traditional computer science backgrounds? Susan has a Physics degree, and this individual has a psychology degree with a bootcamp past. My experience with bootcamps graduates aren't that great, so maybe there's a chance the managers aren't happy with their performance, hence the behavior.

- emanrocks89 10y agoYes, the hiring bar is the same. But as many of us know, the coding interview can be passed with practice so bad engineers are practically indistinguishable from good engineers with extensive amount of practice. The real issues come from when these bootcamp grads are in the workforce when the problems aren't so black and white.
