Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Uber in Feb 2015
Interview
Applied for Operations Manager position through internal reference.
- Had to first take an online analytic test of 2 hours. You will need the 2 hours. Test is excel-heavy and easy, but you are short on time. Practice basic excel stuff (mostly pivot tables) before-hand at least, and leave some time at the end for the open-ended questions.
- Did first interview with HR over Skype. Interview was informal and easy-going. A lot of fit/background questions but I was also surprised to be asked by the HR a lot of "how would you launch Uber X in location X," "what do you think your main challenge would be as operations manager in this location?"... Be well prepared to go beyond a fit-interview even with HR. Interview lasted around 30-45 mins.
- Did second round interview with Operations Manager over Skype. Interview again was informal. Some fit/behavioural questions. I was answering all questions very well and interview seemed more like a chat. Except I got stuck on one question eventually due to some misunderstanding, and the interviewer seemed to suddenly lose his patience because of this question alone and decided to end the interview. In any case the interview had mentioned at the beginning of the interview that they had already filled the role and they were now considering me for another office if I was interested.
Screening Interview with recruiter, then followed by 1 on 1 with hiring manager. Then 3 Business interviews with case study presentation. Long process and multiple rounds are quite draining. However good communication during the process so good process overall
HR screening - take home assignment before 1 day with HM - Hiring Manager round(Behavioral + sharing of assignment - another take home case - presentation with HM, skip manager, 2 member/leader from other teams
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
they will deep dive into your experiences, also how frequent you use those data tools
Five to seven rounds of interviews, tests and presentations just to get a “no, thank you” at the end without much of a feedback. Acceptable for regular recruitment but not after weeks dedicated to the process.
