I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2016
Interview
I never really wanted to work here but I had a very persistent recruiter. We had a great chat so I figured I'd give it a whirl. The next step was another phone call with a team lead on driver growth and the call was pretty disastrous -- no chemistry, boring problems, blindsided by obscure data questions, etc. I was pretty much just thinking "get me out of here" the entire time which probably explains why I was given the run-around "I'd like you to chat with another team member" but no follow-up. I later heard back from the original recruiter and she said that the call went great but they'd like to recommend me for another team. I politely declined and moved on with life.

Question 1
While presenting a portfolio project: How did you utilize data to guide your design decisions?
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

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.
