I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Uber (Boston, MA) in Jul 2018
Interview
Recruiter reached out for a phone screen few days after applying through a referral. One day before phone screen, I realized the call was cancelled, with no reschedule. I emailed back to the sourcer and recruiter asking why and if it can be rescheduled. Heard back 1 week+ after to get it rescheduled. After setting up the calendar, call was then rescheduled 2 hours prior to phone screen. Emailed recruiter why and he responded days after saying position was filled... Totally could have been transparent with me earlier.
I applied online. I interviewed at Uber (Boston, MA) in Jun 2025
Interview
It was a standard process with recruiter reaching out to schedule an interview. After resume screen he told me that I will be talking to the Hiring Manager and another Senior Product OPs guy from the team.
The other 2 interviews were back to back of 30 minutes each. Questions were related to daily Ops challenges faced by Uber and your problem solving around it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q1) If a driver has to pick someone up from Connecticut and drop them to a location in New Jersey, what aspects would you think to decide the right fare so that it is fair to Uber's driver partner as well
Q2) A customer in downtown Boston books an Uber to go to one of the suburbs around Boston. What aspects should be considered in the algorithm to determine which driver should be mapped to pick up & drop the customer
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Uber
Interview
Took more than 1.5 months. One round with HR, then hiring manager then was asked to create a power point based case study which required a lot of research, time and effort to put everything together. Got rejected after that
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Product decision related questions, how would you decide which feature to push, A/B tests etc
I never heard back. I applied through referral link and no one ever reached out. There was also no confirmation of application even which was a bit odd to me. Regardless of qualification, a confirmation that the application was received would have been nice.
