This process was so bad that I feel compelled to write a review. Uber rescheduled every meeting / call for each of the 4-5 rounds, often confirming one time over email then sending a calendar invite for another time. This dragged the process on for weeks and I felt like I was being thrashed around, without consideration of my recruiting and work schedules. The recruiters responded to emails after 1-2 weeks and didn't provide feedback at any step. It felt like they are understaffed and stretched thin. The interviewers came across as smart and friendly people, but inexperienced, unorganized, and not sure of what they were looking for. They ask you to complete a take-home analytics test and then later, to create a 90-minute presentation. This takes 40+ hours of your time. They use your presentation as an opportunity to mine your ideas, ask you detailed questions, and get you to do free consulting work. For such big asks, I expected the process to be more considerate.
I started the process feeling like this could be a good time to join Uber because of the new CEO. I left feeling like the disrepectful, unorganized culture was deeply rooted across the company and might take a long time to fix. Uber still has a culture problem. There's major career risk in going to a company like that. Not worth it. I wish I better understood that beforehand and saved myself the time.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
First a recruiter screen, then an analytics test in Excel. Find key insights and then discuss with a team member if you make it to the next round.
Interviews: talk about times you've led a team, your weaknesses, greatest accomplishments, where you've had impact, why you want this role, why Uber, and other behavioral questions.
The hiring manager interview I recently had was outstanding. They were professional, genuinely interested, and created a relaxed atmosphere. Their insightful questions allowed me to showcase my skills and expertise effectively. They provided transparent insights into the company's culture and emphasized the importance of collaboration. Overall, it was a positive experience that left me motivated and excited about the potential of working in such a supportive environment.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you like about your current position? What are your salary expectations?
Was very rude treatment, late start, joining halfway through a case presentation asking questions that have already been covered.
This was after 1 week of preparation and several rounds on interviews.
Took weeks between each interaction. Guess it was because they hadn't decided 100% to move into the market where I'm located, but still. Ended up with nothing that I guess was the best for both parties.
