I applied through college or university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Uber (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2016
Interview
I met Uber at the CS career fair/university recruiting and they set up a one hour interview on campus. It was just one engineer in a small room with a whiteboard and he was really nice! Even though the question was pretty hard, it was fun because it was a nice interviewer, not what I expected from Uber haha
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given an input string of numbers like 121, find all permutations of that number in the same order for the corresponding letters for each number so 121 => 1 2 1, 12 1, and 1 21 which is ABA, LA, and AT
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.

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.
