Typical interview process: screening HR call, portfolio presentation with a team panel.
Recruiting call was positive. Steps well-coordinated, friendly conversation, shared tips and resources. Although at times, hearing back took a while.
Team panel gave me a negative experience. One interviewer was friendly and listened. The other one was totally distracted by what was happening at home and was disengaged. I didn't feel like he cared at all about the work or me as a person. I couldn't picture working with him. Everything felt scripted and procedural. I dodged a bullet.
I never heard back from them or the recruiter either. Terrible experience.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Uber in Feb 2026
Interview
It was alright overall. Initial phone screen, portfolio review, and final on-site round. Didn't get to the final round. The interviewers were very quiet and barely had reactions. Wish they could give me a quick feedback after the interview.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself. Walk me through your most recent work.
The interview process typically includes an initial screening call, followed by a portfolio review to discuss past work and design thinking. The final stage consists of multiple 1:1 interviews and a collaborative whiteboard or problem-solving exercise.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2025
Interview
The first step is recruiter call, then portfolio walkthrough with VP of design and another designer on the team, lastly a panel interview with cross-functional partners like PM and engineering. Because it was a mid level position so it only had 3 rounds
