I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Uber in Nov 2014
Interview
Uber was incredibly kind to me throughout the whole process. I had a phone interview, where we went through a matrix navigation problem to search for an element. In the final round interviews, I got to talk about economics, statistics, and computer science in each of three interviews, allowing me to see a really nice wholescale view of the company.

Question 1
Design a price surge system, both at a high level and the architecture
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.
