Spoke to the recruiter who scheduled a phone screen. I had no idea about the team before the interview. It felt like a junior person was interviewing me shadowed by a senior person.
I was asked to implement a API rate limiter in the UI. No one has ever asked such a question. Was totally unexpected. No useful hints from the interviewer. Felt like they were uninterested.
At the end I asked what the role was about. To which he replied the manager will make sure you get work that you will enjoy. Answer was very amateurish. Was not a very positive experience.
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.
I applied online. I interviewed at Uber in May 2026
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.
