I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2014
Interview
Phone session
Onsite has 5 rounds
2 problem solving
1 design
1 live coding
And manager talk
Engineers are all young and vivid, I guess that's one of the reason it's attractive to me.
People are nice and responsive, the recruiter is very busy with schedule but responses to email pretty fast.
Entire process takes less than a week, much more efficient than the other company I'm interviewing with: Google takes a week to get back the offer to me, LinkedIn takes more than a week to inform me passed the phone screen, etc.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Algorithm questions are not hard, but these 2 questions asked I have never seen it before.
Not the common one you could find on leetcode, etc
Live coding needs you to code on machine and let it run at the end
Very smooth, interviewers were friendly, on-site and all interviews in the same day. Managed to grab lunch and talk about the company culture. Good guidance throughout the process. Two coding, two system design, one bar raiser, one hiring manager.

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.
