I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2017
Interview
There was a 30 minute phone screening which was a just to get to know each other. Afterwards I was given a Data Science Challenge Problem set, which was to be done on my own time, and there was no time limit set. In the end I worked for 2.5 days on problems. I sent in my responses on Friday evening at 3pm. On Monday morning at 9am I was summarily rejected without more explanation than the "fit" wasn't right, without any discussion of my performance on the challenge set.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The challenge had 3 parts: SQL, Experiment Design, and Machine Learning.
In the SQL portion you had to write some queries to answer complicated real world questions (without any data given, just a schema).
In the experiment design portion you are asked to create a hypothetical plan to answer testing a new app.
In the Data Science portion, you are asked to perform binary classification on a given data set, and return insights from the classification.

But interview was pretty much good tested on sql, python, pandas, production ml models
I applied online. I interviewed at Uber (San Jose, CA) in May 2026
Interview
My interview started with a stats coding round where I was asked to code for expected value for a problem and the second interview was a case study which was quite easy

Question 1
Expected value for a dice problem and a case study about a Uber problem
The process was smooth and well organized. A recruiter initially reached out, followed by a first round consisting of two interviews—one with the team manager and another with a data scientist, both engaging and informative.
