I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (Amsterdam) in Nov 2015
Interview
Usually there are 4 interviewing steps. HR first. Then I was interviewed at Amsterdam office, then San Francisco and finally was onsite. My favorite question: what paper about distributed systems do you like most? Each step goes through coding in CoderPad and theoretical questions. Guys usually ask to code a solution to one problem (like one you can found at LeetCode) or from practice. Everyone was very friendly so it was fun. Onsite interview took through interviewing with 8 people (usually by 2 in an hour) for 6 hours with coding, algorithms, behavioral questions and etc + lunch. Finally i have good overall impression. They look wide and wise. It was nice experience to be interviewed by them. p.s. I was asked for reimbursement, but they didn't for real.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
What is a Consistency (in CAP theorem)? Is Paxos consistent protocol?
Surprisingly, the interview felt quite straightforward, especially for a senior role. I started with a technical screen, where I was asked to design an Uber Eats cart service. It caught me off guard initially, but then I remembered a specific mock I had practiced on PracHub that was nearly spot-on with this scenario. The final round included some behavioral questions, and although I received an offer, I ultimately decided to decline. Overall, it was a positive experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Uber (Bengaluru)
Interview
Round 1 - Coding
Question: Count Rectangle-Line Intersections. Given a set of rectangles and a set of vertical line segments, count how many places the vertical lines intersect the rectangle edges (ignoring edge-on-edge overlaps).

2 coding phases + 1 system design + 1 behavior.
It followed the Big Tech interview process.
The interviewers were nice and supportive,
I really enjoyed the process.
You must be sharp at your coding skills for sure,
they are very technical.
