I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (Pittsburgh, PA) in Oct 2016
Interview
Recruiter contacted to discuss if I have a suitable background. Then one telephonic interview to go through my resume and project. Some questions about debugging techniques and C++ fact checks.
Then there was one take home assignment. It was to test C++ 11 skills and design skills. The assignment was about writing a data structure.
Next were 5 onsite interviews. 45 Minutes each. First 2 were medium and hard array based questions. Both of them could be found on leetcode. Next was a design question. I was asked to write classes and api signatures. No implementation. Next was more about digging into resumes, coursework, projects and concepts. There were all sorts of questions relevant to computer science, but were short questions. Last one was about system details. More about what happens when you execute a program. Very fine details. More about memory access, instructions and their operands, representation of data in memory etc. The same interviewer asked me another basic question and write a code on whiteboard. It was a simple one.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Signed NDA. But questions were very standard ones.
The interview process started with a recruiter screen where they covered my background and the role's expectations. Next, I had a phone screen focused on technical skills where I faced a DSA question on frequent elements in an array. I had practiced similar problems on prachub.com beforehand, which helped me tackle it effectively. The technical rounds consisted of coding and system design questions, including rate limiting. Finally, I had a behavioral interview where they assessed cultural fit. Overall, the experience was average, but I received and accepted an offer.

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.
