I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
I liked the engineers I met during the onsite but the internal Uber recruiters were a pain to deal with. Even after I had passed my onsite and was in the team matching phase they would promise to follow up by a certain date and then I wouldn't hear anything until I reached out myself. The conversations felt abrasive with them saying things such as "Should I even bother using my time to look for a team for you if we can only give you <X> in compensation?". In general the process felt unprofessional and disorganized. Not the type of company culture I want to be around...
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.
