I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Uber in Jul 2021
Interview
I got connected with the hiring manager on LinkedIn. After a few weeks received an email from the recruiter. The first step was a 30 min phone screen with recruiter.
The next step was a 60 min coding interview. Right after the interview I received the email from the recruiter that I made it to the next step. A 60 min ML case study interview was the next step.
As much as I enjoyed the first two rounds, the ML case study interview was a poor experience. The interviewer came to the interview unprepared. He set me for failure by changing the original question as part of follow up questions and not communicating clearly.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in May 2021
Interview
It went alright. My process was:
- Phone screen with HR to discuss data science at Uber
- Two technical phone screens
- Virtual on-site with six interviews, ranging from behavioral to technical
People were mostly pleasant to talk to. First recruiter was helpful and helped me prepare, second recruiter felt much more hands off and cold.
I think it would have been a better use of time if the two technical phone screens could have been condensed into one, considering how it was obvious there was no coordination between the two interviewers (there was at least one repeat question between the two technical phone screens).
Received rejection over the phone. I was given feedback, though it felt pretty vague/generic.

Coding, SQL, machine learning. In the on-site, you're asked more about your experience and given case studies.

I applied online and after a few days, got email from the recruiter for a 30 minutes call. The recruiter never called me at the scheduled time and even after multiple follow ups, he never responded!!
