I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (New York, NY) in Apr 2016
Interview
- First phone screening
- Technical phone interview: easy algorithm to do on an online tool
- On-site interviews (4-5 hours)
I had to meet the recruiter as the last on-site interview, but she was absent.
She promised earlier to have a response to me the next day of the interviews, but told me that day I would have to wait another day. Then she forgot to call me back, and finally told me, four days after the interviews, I would receive an offer from them that very same day.
The next day, I was still waiting for an offer, so I emailed the recruiter. She told me she would call me after the weekend (7 days after the on-site interviews).
Then she said they changed their mind and wouldn't give me any offer.
That was the worst experience ever, the recruiter showed a very bad side of Uber.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2016
Interview
Skipped phone round since I have competing offers and I had worked at top tech companies.
5 onsite interviews:
- 2 coding interview.
- 1 design interview.
- 1 project discussion.
- 1 lunch interview.
Every interview is 1 hour long but the interviewers kept talking about my projects and their projects for first 30 - 40 mins and gave 20 mins for problem-solving.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2016
Interview
I was an employee referral. The whole process was completed in less than 2 weeks. It started with a phone call to a recruiter, then a remote technical screening, followed by a take home exam. The take home was challenging but accomplishable. They flew me out within a week of grading my exam, where I was interviewed by 4 people. Two conceptual interviews and two coding-based interviews. Overall a very positive and quick experience.
