uShip Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

I had a phone interview and after that I was scheduled a 1 hour zoom interview, but nobody showed up. After an hour of waiting and emailing back and forth, they told me the senior engineer was busy. We rescheduled, but a week later I got an email saying they are no longer recruiting.

I have interviewed at uShip multiple times over the last two decades (in 2004, 2015, and 2019), and each experience has been vastly different and ultimately a waste of my time. I've reached the final stages twice, only to be rejected due to a lack of experience with specific technologies, despite my extensive background in others. I've even consulted with their technology executives and offered solutions for their business challenges. In summary, I've been consistently disappointed by uShip, feeling my time was often misspent.

It was a really chill vibe, not like a typical formal interview at all. They even held it at a cafe because their building's plumbing was being worked on. They hit me with two software questions, which weren't meant to be tricky but more to gauge how I think. The questions basically flowed from my questionnaire answers and resume. The technical questions did force me to think quickly, so I didn't answer the way I wanted to at first, but it was really not that bad. Like I said, they just want to see how you approach a problem. There are more than one answer that would be considered correct.
