I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Uber (Sydney) in Jun 2018
Interview
Recruiter reached out via LinkedIn to organise a phone screener. Phone screener comprised of both CompSci and Software Engineering questions.

Interview questions [8]
Question 1
What's the main difference between a Set and a List?
If a data set of 60M records were provided to you and a given O(n) computation was run and it took 2 weeks to compute on one computer. How could you accelerate the processing time so that it could be done in 24 hours?
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.
