I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2012
Interview
Talked to a number of engineers and had an opportunity to ask a number of questions. The interviewers were courteous and answered my questions candidly. I wasn't asked any silly brainteaser questions, and the interviews all seemed focused on my ability to help them. After the interview I had a chance to meet more of the team and see the office.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a big problem you solved in the past.
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.

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.
