I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uber
Interview
Applied on Uber website. I got a call from HR within 2 days. I did a phone screen on hacker rank and was asked a graph based question.
For onsite interview, I was asked to bring my laptop and had to do coding questions on laptop.
Most of the interviewers were nice, although one of them seemed hung up on some un-necessary details and was probably upset that I didn't propose solution he had in mind (or expected me do spit out solution I had already read, that to arrive at a logical solution on my own).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
2 coding interviews.
One design interview
One interview on my project
One interview with manager
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2016
Interview
The recruiter was nice and reached out to me. I scheduled a technical phone interview and the interviewer asked me to code online where you can submit the code and run test cases.
I had few issues with the syntax. I completed one of the coding questions. Did not have time to complete the second one.
Maybe i should have asked recruiter more and not assumed this was a normal online code editor.

Multiply 2 long numbers without using multiplication.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in May 2016
Interview
I was contacted by recruiter in LinkedIn, we scheduled a call and he described the current openings. After a couple of days I had a call from one of tech leads and he described his project and we scheduled a phone coding screen.
The coding screen was very standard, a little discussion about my current role and coding question. The coding question was familiar for me because it's very standard question, I told it's a standard problem and described the solution in deep details and wrote the most optimal solution in time.
After a week of silence I send a message to recruiter and he replied that he forgot to follow up with me and team decided not to move forward. I was a complete surprise for me since I'm sure I performed the screen very well. I'm doing phone screens at work and currently interviewing with other companies, so I have pretty good understanding when the interview was good. As expected the recruiter was completely useless, didn't provide me any details and didn't reply anymore.
I'm not sure what exactly happened, but anyway it's pretty unhealthy recruiting process and it was complete waste of time.
