We believe in learning by doing — and that there is no better classroom than real-world experience. We trust that you know what you’re doing and that you can learn whatever you don’t. That’s why every Uber intern is supported by both a manager and mentor. Together, they guide interns, emphasizing best practice and independence, and encouraging interns to share fresh perspectives. Whether they’re at our Aarhus, Amsterdam, or Sofia tech hubs. “Witnessing the curiosity, enthusiasm, and eagerness to learn displayed by our interns is incredibly refreshing. It takes me back to my own early years and serves as a reminder of why I love my job so much,” shares Nikolay Samardzhiev, a long-time Intern Manager, below.
