I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
The interviewer was a not very personable. The general vibe wasn't to a genuine inquiry into my skills or whether I would be a good tech fit but more an ego/power trip on the interviewer's part. If this interviewer is representative of the overall engineering culture at Uber, then I say it was a bullet dodged. Power plays over engineering.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a difficult engineering challenge you worked on in your current job.
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.

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.
