Question 1
How would you reduce the variance in control and test group?
The initial interview was fine, just some basic python/sql manipulation and creatinga simple function in python along with a few causal inference case questions. However it seems the hiring manager might be a bit picky even if you vibe well and can answer his questions relatively decently. As you can tell by the other reviews, it seems the interview request rate is relatively high while the rejection rate during interview process is VERY high.

I applied online. I interviewed at Uber in Jan 2026
Interview
The call with their talent acquisition was great because he was very nice and did not want to waste anyone's time! But the next stage which was a SQL exercise with someone from their team was not pleasant. The questions were fine, but she obviously didn't want to be there! And despite the fact that they said previously in their email that they'll be using HackerRank, she asked me to write my codes in a word doc because apparently she didn't have any link for that!
