I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2016
Interview
Sent my profile and got scheduled the phone interview. Interviewer was very junior person and has no interviewing skills. It was not clear from the interview what I was supposed to do, either design or coding. Finally I spent 1 hour in total misunderstanding. Hopefully Uber assigns good interviewers with good communication skills and experience to assess the people. From the interview process, I could make out lots of recent grads, young engineers are working there. Anyway, not so impressed.
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.
