I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (New York, NY) in Apr 2016
Interview
- First phone screening
- Technical phone interview: easy algorithm to do on an online tool
- On-site interviews (4-5 hours)
I had to meet the recruiter as the last on-site interview, but she was absent.
She promised earlier to have a response to me the next day of the interviews, but told me that day I would have to wait another day. Then she forgot to call me back, and finally told me, four days after the interviews, I would receive an offer from them that very same day.
The next day, I was still waiting for an offer, so I emailed the recruiter. She told me she would call me after the weekend (7 days after the on-site interviews).
Then she said they changed their mind and wouldn't give me any offer.
That was the worst experience ever, the recruiter showed a very bad side of Uber.
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.

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.
