Terrible application process and a lot of red flags of how dysfunctional this place is.
- Job portal sucks (Who designed this?) You can't upload your resume and have to fill in your information in these tiny form fields
- It's impossible to get a hold of someone (Eg. When the calendar link to set up an interview doesn't work and it was sent from an e-mail address that you can't reply to. There is also no contact information so you don't know who to reach out to resolve this issue)
- Two employees told me different things. The first one said a lot of other candidates are experiencing issues and the second one said they sent me an interview invite by mistake.
Overall, my impression so far is that uber seems very disorganized and there's a lot of miscommunication going on. It definitely feels like i dodged a bullet here.
The interview process typically includes an initial screening call, followed by a portfolio review to discuss past work and design thinking. The final stage consists of multiple 1:1 interviews and a collaborative whiteboard or problem-solving exercise.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2025
Interview
The first step is recruiter call, then portfolio walkthrough with VP of design and another designer on the team, lastly a panel interview with cross-functional partners like PM and engineering. Because it was a mid level position so it only had 3 rounds
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What was your role in the cross-functional collaboration?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Uber (Bengaluru) in Apr 2025
Interview
The interview went smoothly and felt good overall. Unfortunately, I didn’t make it through the first round. However, I haven’t received any feedback, even after reaching out personally—especially disappointing since the interview experience itself was quite positive.
