I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Uber (Ámsterdam) in Dec 2024
Interview
After the recruiter screening, Had a 1:1 coding session with an engineer. Got a leetcode hard problem. Actually solved the problem in the interview with all test cases passing (Verified the solution by copy pasting on leetcode) but still got a rejection. They have unrealistic standards and the expectation is to write the best code without mistakes on the first try. Fixing edge cases and improving code subsequently after writing initial code is seen as a concern. I am pretty sure if the tables were turned, the engineer himself couldnt solve the problem.
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.
