I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2018
Interview
Two weeks after submitting my resume online, I was contacted by an HR generalist. She sent me a short questionnaire with questions like why are you interested in Uber? the immigration status, etc. The HR lady then set up an exploratory chat with a hiring manager and during the chat, we talked about my overall background and experience and why I was interested in Uber. A day after the first chat, the HR team sent me a questionnaire to fill out asking about my visa status.
After finishing up the immigration questionnaire, another hiring manager wanted to set up a technical phone screen with me. During the 45-minute phone screen, in the beginning (about 10 minutes or so), some basic questions like difference between for loop and while loop, meaning of inner join are asked. And later I was asked about a case where I went through the steps of a data science project with the HM. My background is in transportation engineering and did not have much knowledge about data science when I had the interview. But the HM was really friendly and helpful, she listened really carefully to my answers and guided me through the case. I got rejected after the technical phone screen but still a really positive experience :)

Have you had any experience with data visualization?
gave written test then got selected to 1 hr interview but not selected gave my solved solved all the problems due to immigration and visa got not selected.

The process was smooth and well organized. A recruiter initially reached out, followed by a first round consisting of two interviews—one with the team manager and another with a data scientist, both engaging and informative.
