I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2015
Interview
A friend submitted a referral and I was contacted by a recruiter that same day. We had brief phone conversation about my background and a few days later a 45 minute video interview was scheduled with one of the design managers. Later that day another recruiter got back to me saying they'd like to meet me for an onsite interview the following week.
The onsite interview was six hours long with nine different people, beginning with a 45 minute portfolio presentation to a small group. Everyone was extremely sharp, understanding, and transparent.
I heard back the next day with an enthusiastic offer. The recruiter was incredible throughout the entire process. She was supportive, transparent, and quick to answer all of my questions. Great experience overall.

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
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.
