Interviewer had to cancel because they couldn't find a room to interview with. Had a pending deadline, so asked recruiter if making the deadline was possible. Recruiter dodged the question multiple times.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (New York, NY) in Oct 2018
Interview
Initially you start with a phone screen for a coding question
This is a five-round interview loop that touches upon variety of areas:
1) Practical coding (spin up a website from scratch; spin up a RESTful API server from scratch)
2) Algorithms (standard coding questions)
3) System design (design a highly scalable, distributed system on the whiteboard)
4) Bar raiser interview (this is basically a culture fit screening from a third-party team)
5) Hiring manager interview (one that potentially whom you will be reporting to)
Helpful resources are algorithm books (Cracking the Coding Interview) and coding websites like leetcode or haclerrank you might find out there. Also consult engineering blogs to get insights on how to properly design systems at large scale.
Make sure you have enough narratives to tackle situational questions. Typically these are the ones asking for handling disagreements, your daily process at work, etc. Make sure that you justify all your questions and describe your process thoroughly. Basically, thinking in terms of the interviewer's shoes is the key!
They let you bring the laptop onsite, and it is highly encouraged to do so. This is one of the "newer" companies that evaluates on your real skills rather than your ability to do things on the whiteboard.

Interview
Online Test + Interview. The online test was designed to take a measure of your skills and how they match with the skills required by the company. You can expect questions related to graphs as they are very handy in storing the data connecting cities by roads and also questions related to dynamic programming. These questions will not be very easy and will test your skills.
