I applied online. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in May 2022
Interview
Applied through Linkedin. Recruiter reached out and scheduled tech screen. Recruiter sent me email that in the first interview I may ask questions about the role, responsibilities, any challenges etc. I had lot of questions.
It was one of the worst interviews I had. The interviewer didn't introduce himself, didn't give time to ask questions. Asked me to introduce myself. After my introduction, the interviewer asked me about any challenging task I worked so far. I explained one of the challenging tasks, which my team and I think it is complex and saves few millions of $$. After listening to my explanation, the interviewer asked "Is it challenging for you?". I felt little sarcastic. Next, the interviewer asked me to get into coding part and pasted the question in codesignal. I read through the question and I had few followup questions. When I asked those questions, the interviewer asked me to read the question again instead of answering me. I felt little disrespectful. Anyways, I explained my approach and started my solution. To my confession, I was not able to finish the implementation on time. I thought the interviewer may give some time towards the end for any questions I may have wrt company, role etc. But, the interviewer ended the interview abruptly saying "Ok. Time is up. Bye"
May be the interviewer was having a bad day. During the interview, sometimes I was smiling and answering questions, but there was no smile on interviewer's face.
It was great experience. Interviewers were very gentle, introduced himself in the beginning. It was friendly and very good discussion. I had problem solving round followed by designing. Didn't make it to further rounds due to unavailability of role. May get considered for other roles in future.
