I applied through other source. I interviewed at Uber in Jul 2017
Interview
I actually liked the questions that I got. They were relevant to the job. Unlike many companies (Spotify, wayfair) where in people mostly ask SD questions and sometimes dont know how to make the interview conversation in terms of Machine learning so this interview I would say perfect in that sense.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic probability question. Find probability of two cars meeting given certain conditions
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2017
Interview
Referred through a friend, had a few quick informational calls then was sent the take home assignment, followed by onsite.
The take home was a decent problem though it took a while, and I was told I "nailed it". They made me create some slides about it which I thought was strange because the take home assignment was in presentable format, and when I got there it seemed like no one had really looked at my take home. People were nice to me, but scheduling was a mess; they kept on pushing back and moved my onsite at the last minute.
I didn't get asked that many technical questions when onsite, but I got feedback saying my ML/modelling was a concern. Given I had to do a lengthy take home modelling exercise, I am confused but I suppose there could just have been more experienced candidates.
