I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (Pittsburgh, PA) in Oct 2016
Interview
After the phone screen with the recruiter, I was given a technical screen. This technical screen was unlike anything I have ever encountered. Despite applying for a position specific to AI, I was asked questions on various other Computer Science topics, which has little to no relevance to the job position. This included questions on cybersecurity, networking, databases, and file structure. After this round, I moved forward to project round. I was given a week to work on a project which likely would have taken over 20 hours. At this time, I declined to move forward in the process
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you ready for the most intense job of your life?
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.

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.
