Entrevista
1) Phone screening interview - simple business case and behavioral questions
2) Excel data analytics on logistics (2 hour time limit) - interpreting data using pivot tables and writing your responses down to 9 questions - make sure you are in a quiet spot where you won't be interrupted. Be efficient in your responses.
3) 45 min Phone interview with a senior general manager (hiring manager) - experience
4) In person interview at the office with a written exercise (the operations piece) (45 min)
Explaining your answers and answering questions 1:1 (60 min)
The hiring manager breaks down your daily tasks comprehensively. About 15% strategy and 85% operational/executional. This means most of your time is spent through mundane tasks, educating drivers and on-boarding them. The fun analysis role is only a small portion where you brainstorm ideas and make a solid case on why Uber should implement them (You would have to pass it by Travis, the CEO). Appears that hours are long (morning to 10 PM everyday, 6 days a week) because you are in charge of your own division. One Ops/Lld logistics guy drily asked me if I would enjoy spending my time fixing iPhone issues. However, he followed that Uber was the best job he's ever had.
Definitely a social savvy group of people.
Overall, Quynh from the SF office was fantastic. Getting emails at midnight was the norm. I understand how hectic and busy it can be with a fast growing company. Downside is the length of the process. I'd get an interview on Monday, and won't find out until Friday about the next round. About 1 week between each round. It's a lengthy process. Much longer than other firms... could lose talent. Overall, Quynh's responsiveness and personal warmth made the process enjoyable.
Last interview was tough as it was in the evening when you want to rest and feel brain-fried. Hopefully there may be another opportunity with Uber in the future - possibly in a Launcher role.
Shoutout to Kristina - representative of the amazing and top notch people at Uber

Interview process was typical. Asking leadership, teamwork, and case questions to see how well you problem solve on the spot. The interview process was 3-4 steps, the last being a round robbin with many of the similar roles.

Entrevista
I applied to Uber on their careers website. It took about a month for a recruiter to reach out to start the process. The process consisted of a phone screen with a recruiter, a skills test, a video conference with someone from the hiring team, and an in person round. I did not make it past the video conference stage. The phone screen was pretty standard. The skills test was timed (2 hours) assessing excel skills using mock data related to the Uber business and critical/strategic thinking skills based on data and general knowledge of Uber's business. The video conference contained questions regarding past data experience and Uber business-specific questions. I found it odd that candidates needed to know so much about Uber's business practices going into interviews, especially in areas that are not public knowledge. The process was pretty quick after the initial contact from the recruiter (2 weeks).
