I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2017
Interview
Referred through a friend, had a few quick informational calls then was sent the take home assignment, followed by onsite.
The take home was a decent problem though it took a while, and I was told I "nailed it". They made me create some slides about it which I thought was strange because the take home assignment was in presentable format, and when I got there it seemed like no one had really looked at my take home. People were nice to me, but scheduling was a mess; they kept on pushing back and moved my onsite at the last minute.
I didn't get asked that many technical questions when onsite, but I got feedback saying my ML/modelling was a concern. Given I had to do a lengthy take home modelling exercise, I am confused but I suppose there could just have been more experienced candidates.
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
Interview questions [1]
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.
Failed at technical screening round. Recruiter told me I will be tested on SQL, but I got tested on Python as well. Did not prepare well for that interview and didn't get moved forward
