I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Uber in Aug 2015
Interview
Typical phone screen interview last around 45 min, spend the first 15 min chatting on the background, then a very simple coding question. Find the lowest common ancestor in a binary search tree. Then the last 15 min talking about the company culture. After that I receive an email that I was rejected.
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.
