Behavioral
The interview process overall was good, I had engaging conversations with the team and liked how structured it felt. But during one of the final rounds, a PM on the team mentioned they are working on a specific product/project that hadn’t been mentioned anywhere in the job description or by the recruiter before. They then asked if I had prior experience related to that area. It caught me off guard, since I had prepared based on the stated responsibilities and requirements. I tried to link my past experience to the project context as best as I could, but it still felt like the expectations and the actual focus of the role weren’t fully aligned with what had been communicated earlier. I still appreciate the chance to learn more about the team’s direction, but it left me with a mixed impression overall. After that round, I never heard back no rejection, no follow-up, just silence. It was disappointing, especially after putting time and effort into the process. A simple update would’ve gone a long way in keeping a good candidate experience.

Behavioral Technical Case Presentation
Recruiter screen, Hiring Manager Screen, Homework, Presentation/Jam session, 1:1 xFN Technical Screening. The Hiring Manager screen was pretty light on behavioral and mostly about setting the context of the role and the team. The Homework was quite long and not really scoped properly for what should be handled in a 1 hour Jam Session. Two PM Directors did not read the homework beforehand so a lot of time is wasted walking through clarifications or answering questions already covered later in the deck. Unlike earlier Jam sessions in the 2010s, the hosts did not really work with the candidate on the problem space or solution space or try to pivot the thinking at all. Beware that Uber seems to now look for a few particular solutions in cases instead of really vetting the actual process and design and strategy thinking. They will also dock points if you don’t provide a wireframe even though the prompt never disclosed they want visual learning aids.

Uber Product Manager Interview Questions
Quoted word for word from Uber interview reports.
“There is a data point saying there are more Uber drop-offs at the airport than pick-ups from the airport. Why do you think this is and what would you change in the product to fix that?”

The head of Uber Eats has asked you to figure out how we can reverse this revenue trend as fast as possible. As a PM on the Uber Eats team, how would you help turn things around?”
