I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Uber in Apr 2016
Interview
Applied with referral from friend.
Start with phone interview with recruiter. Speeding excitement for Uber's mission was important.
Then, I did a code pairing phone screen with a question about palindromes.
Then on-site many rounds of interviews. Problems were easier than I thought and interviewers helped to solve the answers. Showed enthusiasm for Uber.
However, no offer in the end. Perhaps I didn't reach the bar.
The Uber team seemed to be under more stress due to very high growth, but they are intelligent.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
how to implement Uber pool. given two trips find and algorithm to see if they should be pooled
The interview process started with a recruiter screen where they covered my background and the role's expectations. Next, I had a phone screen focused on technical skills where I faced a DSA question on frequent elements in an array. I had practiced similar problems on prachub.com beforehand, which helped me tackle it effectively. The technical rounds consisted of coding and system design questions, including rate limiting. Finally, I had a behavioral interview where they assessed cultural fit. Overall, the experience was average, but I received and accepted an offer.
I applied online. I interviewed at Uber in May 2026
Interview
The interview process begins with an initial BFS screening to evaluate overall fit and relevant experience, followed by three virtual onsite interviews that focus on coding ability, an in-depth discussion of technical background and past projects, as well as behavioral and collaboration-related questions to assess communication and teamwork skills.
