Uber Staff Accountant interview questions

Interview process was fairly standard. Although made awesome by the team involved. - 2 Rounds of Phone interviews first with HR then with the Hiring Manager. Normal questions, what do you want to do, why do you want to do that, why are you looking, ect ect ect. Both the recruiter and Hiring Manager were very patient and willing to converse during this time. Allowing me to lead the conversation off on tangents exploring the culture and personality of the Company as a whole and the Accounting/Finance team in particular. Each interview was 15-30 min - 1 In-person interview getting to know the team, same rounds of questions, plus some more banter. Really drove home the feeling of acceptance with the group, more personal questions; probably half the interview was completely off topic or about the pasts of the people on the team, again allowing me to see who was making up the company, make sure I wanted to be a part of this team. This interview was about an hour to an hour and a half long. - 1 More in person interview this time with added Excel test. The test took a little over an hour to finish although I was obsessing over minor details. Was also supposed to have interview with the Head of Finance here, but they were out of the office so... - One final Phone interview with Head of Finance - Same as above, got to pick his brain on the company, some more general interview questions and finish! This final interview was about 15 min long. The whole process was incredibly laid back and welcoming, which perfectly matched my style, and upon starting I realized matched the atmosphere in my work area. I feel much more emphasis was put onto my personality and my "fit" into the team than ever was on my Accounting ability. My ability was still important, and I had to prove that I was capable of doing the job, but if I had been the best technical candidate with a non-fitting personality than I don't believe I would have been offered the position. Total Time spent was probably 5-6 weeks between first hearing from HR and receiving my Offer Letter, there were a lot of individual interviews involved and with about a full week spent in-between each step it was a long process. Patience is key!
