I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2016
Interview
The process began with a recruiter reaching out to me to do a take-home exercise with three parts: some medium-difficulty SQL queries, a qualitative question on metric evaluation and experimental design, and an applied predictive modeling exercise for which you needed to submit code. After that I did a 30 minute Uber-related case study over the phone with a data science manager before the final on-site. The on-site was comprised of four interviews: one with a PM which was kind of a combination of background and explaining technical stuff to non-technical people, two data science related case studies about Uber problems that involved both experimental design and predictive modeling (with some whiteboard math/brainstorming), and one solely focused on metrics and experimental design (which they emphasize a lot if you couldn't already tell).
The take-home coding assignment was probably the best / least annoying of the 4 I did during recruiting, and all the interviewers were really, really sharp. Only negative was that the onsite was quite rushed and just a 4 hour block straight through with not much time to collect one's thoughts after each interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain how network effects might influence your choice of how to assign experimental/control units and measure your main outcome metrics
gave written test then got selected to 1 hr interview but not selected gave my solved solved all the problems due to immigration and visa got not selected.
But interview was pretty much good tested on sql, python, pandas, production ml models
I applied online. I interviewed at Uber (San Jose, CA) in May 2026
Interview
My interview started with a stats coding round where I was asked to code for expected value for a problem and the second interview was a case study which was quite easy

Question 1
Expected value for a dice problem and a case study about a Uber problem
The process was smooth and well organized. A recruiter initially reached out, followed by a first round consisting of two interviews—one with the team manager and another with a data scientist, both engaging and informative.
