I applied online for the position posted with their Xchange Leasing unit, then received a call back a week later to do a phone screen with the recruiter. In speaking with her I learned that there were other roles I'd be fit for that they were looking to fill. After this screen she set me up to do a video interview with one of the managers.
A week later, I had the hour-long video interview, which apparently I did well enough to where I was invited to make the 4 hour drive (this office was in Plano (Dallas), TX; I lived in Houston) to interview with potential teammates. I was give a list of names with whom I'd be interviewing with; this list of names was updated a few days later and sent to me via email; and per my research, now consisted of management. Keep in mind that the email I was sent with the names did not include their titles.
Upon arriving EARLY (because I'm old school like that), I was told to ask to see the receptionist and ask for a certain person. Well the receptionist was out sick apparently, and that just seemed to put a monkey wrench in the whole scheduling of things. I advised someone else of my interview and who I was supposed to ask for. One of the people on my interview list found me, and asked if I was given a schedule of who I was to meet with, and if I had a video conference set up. I showed him the email I received from the recruiter, which again, only had names of people, no times or a link to a video conference, as he was inferring. I sat in a small conference room for about 30 minutes while random people popped in and out to check on me, telling me it would be just a few minutes, and that they would deviate from the "schedule" if needed. Finally I did a video conference with the first person (I guess she was in California or somewhere offsite). I only got 11 minutes of screen time with her, and she asked the standard "Tell me a time when..." questions.
The next two rounds of interviews were with two people each, ensuring that I was a great cultural fit and judging from the questions, I felt they were trying to test my reaction to working in a slightly chaotic environment with super tight deadlines.
One of the interviewers also stated that I was going to be asked a "bar-raiser" question by the next round of folks I was scheduled to meet with, and to be ready because "it was a tough one". Not sure what the question was, as I didn't encounter any out-of-the-ordinary questions or anything that made my raise an eyebrow in that next round.
As soon as my interviews were over, I went to my car and checked my voicemail. One of the recruiters had left me a message. I called her back, advising that I just completed the round of interviews. She then asked me "if I was late or something.." (!!) because my first video conference interview was only 11 minutes and not the scheduled 30. I advised I was not late, and that there seemed to be some confusion when I got there as to who would interview me first. I was taken aback by this rather accusatory statement...so as a caution to those who get an invite to come in for in-person interviews, if you get a list of names beforehand from your recruiter, reply back and ask if there is an itinerary for the two hours that they will need of your time, and if there will be any video conferences as well so that you are at least in the know, if no one else is lol
After the interviews, I followed up with the recruiter a few days later. A week later, I finally heard back from her via email. She said a decision had been made, and to schedule a time for her to call (all interviews with the recruiter were scheduled via a link in their email; you chose the day and time most convenient for you). I selected a time, in which she did call and advise me that I "was not a strong candidate for the position" but I was a good cultural fit and that if anything else came up, they would let me know. I know Uber is new school, but sometimes a good old fashioned rejection email would suffice-scheduling your own rejection notice is too new wave for most folks lol.
Other Takeaways:
-Everyone was very nice
-They advise that they are very casual, no formal attire is needed for the interview. One could get away with nice jeans and a nice shirt.
