I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Uber
Interview
The recruiter contacted me through linkedin. I responded and had the initial phone conversation with the recuiter. This has to be one of the worst initial phone conversations I ever had in bay area. The recruiter was not only late but she seemed very disinterested (remember, it was her that contacted me) and generally lacked decent communication skills. I guess nepotism is the the only reason such a lousy recruiter got hired at Uber. I don't see a good future for Uber.
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.
