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.
Very smooth, interviewers were friendly, on-site and all interviews in the same day. Managed to grab lunch and talk about the company culture. Good guidance throughout the process. Two coding, two system design, one bar raiser, one hiring manager.

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.
