I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2016
Interview
One recruiter intro; one phone screen of coding test (skipped for my case); one on-site with 5 interviewers: each asked a coding question, some asked additional technical questions regarding my experience and resume.

Question 1

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.

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.
