I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
After applying online and talking to the recruiter on the phone I was asked to do a coding challenge. I had as much time as I wanted. The coding challenge was very open. They gave me 5 different public APIs I could use and asked me to build a web app using one of them. I choose one that gave me real time data on transit times and schedules.
After the coding challenge I got flown into their head offices in San Francisco. I had 4 interviews in total, 3 of them technical and the last one was more of a fit interview.
Everyone was very nice and sounded very excited about Uber and it's future. The technical interviews where mostly about algorithms, data structures, etc. They also asked me why I was interested in Uber, they want people that really believe in the product and on what Uber is doing.
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.
