I applied through other source. I interviewed at Uber in June 2014
Interview
Con in contact with the SF based recruiter via a contact. Straightforward Skype interview, with some questions about the local market and several about how I would recruit and work with drivers. Passed onto analytics test, sent a dataset and given 2 hours to answer about 30 questions. Data required some pivot table work and some fairly detailed and nuanced answers (for someone not coming from a data heavy background). Two short essay type questions at the end, one involved writing a newsletter to drivers. Got an email the next day saying I had not passed the test.
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.
