I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (Pittsburgh, PA) in Mar 2019
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn for Uber ATG and scheduled a phone call. The HR phone call discussed the work Uber does, asked general questions about resume, and Uber's safety model. Afterwards, a technical phone interview was scheduled using a Codepair link. This was with one of their younger engineers who asked a standard Leetcode question. After the phone interview, the recruiter followed up within two days, notifying if the interview was successful and gave feedback on what you did well. Then an onsite was scheduled which consisted of 3 tech and 2 cultural. The technicals consisted of standard whiteboard coding, system design, and an OOP design. The behaviorals were standard behavioral questions and resume questions, with a focus on safety.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Phone: Variation of Largest Islands question, What does safety mean to you?
Online Assessment / Coding Round
Usually LeetCode-style problems (medium-hard).
Focus on DSA (arrays, strings, trees, graphs, heaps, dynamic programming).
Time complexity + edge cases are important.
Technical Interviews (2–3 rounds)
Coding: Live coding, often around system/data structures.
System Design (Backend focus): High-level + Low-level design of scalable systems (e.g., ride matching, trip pricing, notifications, payments).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
ese are usually LeetCode medium–hard:
Implement LRU Cache.
Given a stream of integers, design a system to return the kth largest element at any time.
Find the shortest path between two nodes in a graph (Dijkstra, BFS).
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Uber (Santiago) in Jun 2025
Interview
Long, heavy leetcode testing, had to go through 5 different interviews for an entry level position, including soft skills and technical testing, but very transparent regarding what to expect and how to prepare for each step
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Identify substrings (of any length) from an array within a larger string, and replace them with their capitalized version
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Uber
Interview
OA assignment and a little bit difficult for me, after finish the OA, the full grade is 500 or 700 and I just got 300, so ofc I cant enroll to the next step.
