I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2014
Interview
The most responsive and open interview process I have ever been involved with. From the very beginning I was given all star help and guidance. Began with a quick talk about the company and my background, aka the initial screening. This was followed by a coding challenge, unless I already had public code I preferred they look at. I enjoy a good challenge so I chose one of theirs: a full stack single page web application. After a week, I submitted and they had a single day turn around to review the entire project! The following day was a technical overview of my experiences. Later the SAME day, I was informed I was invited to an onsite at HQ. I was to front the bill for travel, but their expense reimbursements process is painless. They ultimately pay for everything. The onsite I will describe only as a pleasure and a challenge to respect their process.
The interview process started with a recruiter screen where they covered my background and the role's expectations. Next, I had a phone screen focused on technical skills where I faced a DSA question on frequent elements in an array. I had practiced similar problems on prachub.com beforehand, which helped me tackle it effectively. The technical rounds consisted of coding and system design questions, including rate limiting. Finally, I had a behavioral interview where they assessed cultural fit. Overall, the experience was average, but I received and accepted an offer.
I applied online. I interviewed at Uber in May 2026
Interview
The interview process begins with an initial BFS screening to evaluate overall fit and relevant experience, followed by three virtual onsite interviews that focus on coding ability, an in-depth discussion of technical background and past projects, as well as behavioral and collaboration-related questions to assess communication and teamwork skills.
