I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Uber in Oct 2016
Interview
Uber was far too slow throughout the entire process. They told me in mid-September that they wanted to interview me, and from the very beginning, I told them that I had a deadline of November 1st with other companies. It took them almost an entire month to finally schedule the interview, during which, I contacted my recruiter multiple reminding him of the deadline and he assured me that I could complete the process with Uber in time. When they did finally get back to me, the phone interview was scheduled for Mid-October, which I passed. Afterwards, I get an email asking me to give them my availabilities for an onsite. I list them, but the only time they had listed was the end of October. I responded within minutes of receiving the email and asked for the earliest of the days, he listed, but also asked if it was at all possible to do it earlier. Instead, he took a full day to respond telling me the day I chose was full, and the earliest I could do was days later, and as such, I wasn't able to do the onsite.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard Algorithms questions. Reading Crack the Coding Interview really helps.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2016
Interview
Talked to HR, then sent times for a 45 min phone interview with an engineer. They then scheduled the interview for a time I could not make. I replied and said I could not make that time, which they then said they would fix promptly. After a week of radio silence, on the day of the interview, I had an engineer call and email me asking why I didn't show up to the interview. After emailing HR again, still more silence. ???
Communication was terrible. I was confused about the position I was interviewing for and so were my interviewers. Asked questions to the HR person 3 days prior and received no response. My last interviewer was assigned as the hiring manager 5 minutes before my interview. He came in completely unprepared. Took one look at my resume and said he didn't want to hire me. Complete waste of my time.
