I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (Milán)
Interview
The position I interviewed for was Operations Intern. I'm writing a long and detailed review to give back to the Glassdoor community!
I applied online, after seeing the job posting on LinkedIn. Got contacted 2 days after application.
First step is a call with a recruiter to assess your motivation (Why Uber? Why this role?) and general fit (Tell me about yourself). Nothing to worry about here!
Step 2 is an online assessment. They give you an Excel file with data on metrics for different (fictional) cities and you have to prepare a presentation after analyzing the numbers. You have 3 days to complete it.
It is not too hard but it does require a good understanding of Uber's business and some familiarity with metrics. Notice that spending some time studying for the assessment will help you in the following interviews!
Differently from what I read about the assessments for more senior roles, only basic Excel skills were needed.
Lastly, I got an invitation to 2x45 minutes interviews (online).
Forget about "Tell me about a time..." questions. They ask you about Uber's business model, ask some case-like questions to see how you reason. Both interviewers were extremely nice and informal.
The second interview was more like a guided case, very specific to the role: again reasoning about metrics, operations...
Overall I felt like the interviews were hard but fair (and fun!). You should be well prepared and think on your feet.
I received feedback just 3 days after the interview.
The process involved multiple rounds, spanning system design, data structures and algorithms, and behavioral questions. They expect thorough knowledge and solution and answer. Asked relating to resume to explain some projects also.
