I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2021
Interview
Process seemed pretty standard for bay area tech companies.
Technical screening, Technical screening with engineer, onsite (virtual).
I got past the first screening but not the second. Overall I'd say the technical questions were harder than average.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
For the coding challenge/screening I was asked 4 coding problems with a 70 minute time limit. Two were on average leetcode easy with the rest being medium/hard. The goal was to pass around 75% of the test cases combining all problems.
Second screening with an engineer I was asked to construct a Quadtree given a 2d matrix of integers.
The interview process started with a recruiter screen where they covered my background and the role's expectations. Next, I had a phone screen focused on technical skills where I faced a DSA question on frequent elements in an array. I had practiced similar problems on prachub.com beforehand, which helped me tackle it effectively. The technical rounds consisted of coding and system design questions, including rate limiting. Finally, I had a behavioral interview where they assessed cultural fit. Overall, the experience was average, but I received and accepted an offer.
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.
