I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2015
Interview
Refer by a friend and contacted by recruiter for phone interview. Arranged the interview in one week. Did not prepare much and then interview and then failed. Uber has difficult interview questions, compared to other company and they want more senior engineers. Suggest to prepare really well before apply .
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One question for coding on coderpad. I answered the brute force solution, which is apparently not what he expected. So we talked about the solution, I did not code in the end. That's the reason that I failed.
Very smooth, interviewers were friendly, on-site and all interviews in the same day. Managed to grab lunch and talk about the company culture. Good guidance throughout the process. Two coding, two system design, one bar raiser, one hiring manager.

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.
