Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Uber.
Sales Operations Manager
The final interview round required preparing a 45-minute presentation of 3 case studies with many questions to answer for each. It felt excessive and disrespectful of my time. One of the case studies was worded in a misleading way in its instructions, and that ended up being part of why I didn’t get an offer. On top of that, the topics of the case studies weren’t even responsibilities listed in the job description. The interviewers were late to every single round. I spent many hours building the deck for those case studies and the interviewers couldn’t even give me 30-60 minutes of their day. I also didn’t like how the recruiter told me I was eliminated from consideration. When a candidate makes it to the final round, they deserve a phone call to say they won’t get an offer. A short email felt insulting.
- How can we use delivery radius as an input metric to help grow our business?
Operations Manager
The interview process was very organized and professional. It began with an initial screening with a recruiter, then moved into several structured rounds with people from the operations and regional teams. The questions were a blend of behavioral and case-style, mainly centered on marketplace dynamics, decision-making, and operational rigor. Every interviewer was clear, respectful, and well-prepared, and the process moved quickly without unnecessary delays. I really liked how transparent and communicative the recruiter stayed throughout. It made the whole experience feel thoughtful and efficient.
- How would you approach fixing a supply-demand imbalance?
Community Operations Manager
I applied on Uber's website and then the recruiter contacted me for an introductory call. The recruiter was kind and enthusiastic. We went over my qualifications and skills and talked through both the basic qualifications they asked for and the preferred qualifications. I moved on to the next round for an interview with the hiring manager. The interview felt stiff, the format was more like Question-Answer-Question-Answer, not really a conversation. A week later I had another meeting with the recruiter, who told me I didn’t move on to the next round because I didn’t have the preferred qualifications, which they already knew about.
- Can you walk me through a project you worked on?
- Tell me about a time where you had a piece of data that was unpopular with stakeholders that you still had to present to them, and how you handled it?
- Tell me about a time where you worked with a difficult stakeholder, and what you would do differently if you could go back?
