Typical interview process: screening HR call, portfolio presentation with a team panel.
Recruiting call was positive. Steps well-coordinated, friendly conversation, shared tips and resources. Although at times, hearing back took a while.
Team panel gave me a negative experience. One interviewer was friendly and listened. The other one was totally distracted by what was happening at home and was disengaged. I didn't feel like he cared at all about the work or me as a person. I couldn't picture working with him. Everything felt scripted and procedural. I dodged a bullet.
I never heard back from them or the recruiter either. Terrible experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typical screening questions: why uber, why want to leave, what I look for in my next role, questions about my background.
Typical portfolio questions: explain rationale, challenges, etc.
The interview process typically includes an initial screening call, followed by a portfolio review to discuss past work and design thinking. The final stage consists of multiple 1:1 interviews and a collaborative whiteboard or problem-solving exercise.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2025
Interview
The first step is recruiter call, then portfolio walkthrough with VP of design and another designer on the team, lastly a panel interview with cross-functional partners like PM and engineering. Because it was a mid level position so it only had 3 rounds

Question 1
What was your role in the cross-functional collaboration?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Uber (Bengaluru) in Apr 2025
Interview
The interview went smoothly and felt good overall. Unfortunately, I didn’t make it through the first round. However, I haven’t received any feedback, even after reaching out personally—especially disappointing since the interview experience itself was quite positive.
