I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Referred by a friend. One round of phone interview and then onsite. All my interviewers were pleasant to talk with and knowledgable. Phone interview was very simple. I was kind of surprised at the questions he asked. On-site was 4 one hour back to back interviews. I heard back in less than a week for my phone and heard back the day after for my on-site.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
System architecture, two data structure + algorithms, and one culture fit w/ an engineering manager.
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.
I applied online. I interviewed at Uber in May 2026
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.
