I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2017
Interview
Multiple rounds of technical questions. They asked at first about the CS research at my university which I did not know much about, but I answered anyway. Unfortunately did not get past the first round.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked about binary trees, don't remember the exact question. I would recommend practicing a bunch of binary trees questions as well as knowing run time and space complexity.
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.
