I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2018
Interview
Asked friend for a referral. Phone screen followed by a take home assignment, which went well. I was invited for onsite where I was interviewed by 5 people from the team.
I thought the interview went well, the coding interview was a bit hit and miss because lack of familiarity with the interface. All the other team members told me it's not important for this team or the role. Most of the questions were open ended and vague, it felt like the interviewers liked my answers. A week later I was told I am not the right fit for the team.

I applied online. I interviewed at Uber (San Jose, CA) in May 2026
Interview
My interview started with a stats coding round where I was asked to code for expected value for a problem and the second interview was a case study which was quite easy

Question 1
Expected value for a dice problem and a case study about a Uber problem
The process was smooth and well organized. A recruiter initially reached out, followed by a first round consisting of two interviews—one with the team manager and another with a data scientist, both engaging and informative.
