Met an Uber recruiter at my MBA campus event following an awesome presentation about the company. I was seriously excited and the growth and story behind it is just incredible.
Follow up interview & coffee with the recruiter/HR rep to go into more detail about city operations and the role. The depth of this meeting was impressive and much more of a Q&A session. Very refreshing against formal HR screens.
Completed an online supply assessment (I'm from a consulting background, and it was tough) and the timed element made this very tricky.
Contacted straight away and attended an onsite interview two days later with the operational city team (they even sent me a code to take a free ride to the meeting). Interview covered my background, knowledge of Uber. A lot of the interview was around case studies and logical thinking. - The team seemed pretty awesome and were very passionate about Uber, but I did get the impression the role would involve long hours / weekend work.
Recruiter called me a couple of days later and unfortunately I didn't get the role. He did give me detailed feedback though which was really helpful. I'm currently interviewing with multiple firms and this really is a first. Disappointed at not getting the opportunity to work for Uber, but really enjoyed the process and have stayed in touch with the recruiter and even introduced classmates to him (one just got a job).
Felt by the end of the process that I really understood the role, and that's hard to do in an interview. Google & Amazon need to take some tips of these guys.
