I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2016
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter for the software engineer role. There was an initial phone screen testing usual algorithms question. Then I was called for the onsite the next day and fixed a time over the next week. Had 5 rounds of interviews with 3 managers asking for design questions and 2 with engineers involving pure algo related questions. The questions were not very hard but very subjective at times.
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.

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.
