The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (Dallas, TX) in Oct 2019
Interview
Phone screen, interview and final interview with mock sales pitch. You are given a restaurant and you need to write a cold email and create a presentation. You then present your work during final interview.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Applied online. Process: spoke with a Sourcer for a 30 minute initial phone call, then had a video interview with one of the team managers. Was given a case study I had to prepare a short presentation for the onsite where I met with 6 different people, in groups of 2's.
The interview itself was fine, but my biggest complaint is with the recruiter I worked with and the feedback I received when he was telling me why I didn't get the job. Recruiter asked to schedule a call for feedback, we confirmed a time, and he never called me. When he finally had the time to call me back (after not responding to my emails for over 24 hrs), he told me I did not get the job and offered to give feedback, which I was more than happy to hear. However, the feedback I received was strongly based on my "non traditional background"- worrying this would just be another job and that they'd have to put too much effort into ramping me up. Also, that my answer for why I was excited about U4B was "too generic."
So many red flags here it's hard to know where to start. I was interviewed with my non-traditional background, and no one tried to dive into why I left my previous roles. I was also coming here after having been laid off so my current search was completely unexpected. It demonstrated a lack of empathy in a way that kind of shocked me. Following up with that by saying that my answer for why I was excited about the role/company was "generic" came across as extremely rude, as there was no other context.
It's a bit of a bummer as I really liked the managers I spoke with as well as other people on the team-- but the recruiter experience and his horrible interpersonal skills relaying interview feedback left a really a bad taste in my mouth about the entire experience. I honestly would've preferred a generic rejection email over speaking with someone who made my time feel undervalued and made me feel offended on a personal level, vs providing me with helpful feedback that could've been applied for future interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about a time you had to mitigate a situation where a client wasn't happy with the work you did.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (Sídney) in Mar 2019
Interview
Process included a phone screen with recruiter, phone call with potential team leader, video call with potential team leader and team member. Finally a meeting 1:1 with the department head. It was detailed in questioning and I believe that without substantial knowledge of Uber and its clients beforehand, I struggled around the depth of "how I would do the role" Could have involved a little more info to help prepare on their end as there was really nothing.
