The interview process was rigorous, including a phone screen with a recruiter, an analytics test, a video interview with light case study with a senior manager and a 2-hour onsite interview. The onsite included two 2-on-1 interviews, for which I did an overview of my hard skills and a case interview, and one 1-on-1 interview, which was more of an overview of my soft skills.
Uber gave me a salary and equity number during the first-round interview, stating that there would not be a ton of room for negotiation as they are trying to shore up their pay equity schemes. I received another offer while I waited out a decision at Uber, which I communicated to my recruiter. She assured me that I would receive a decision from Uber by a certain date. That date passed, and I sent two emails to the recruiter with no response. It was incredibly frustrating to get radio silence from her with a deadline on the table. I was only able to get a response because I reached out to the person who referred me, who reached out to her. She finally got back to me and said that while the team loved me and I got great feedback on my interviews, they wanted to bring me in at $20k less than originally discussed, with less than half the equity. I was shocked. Honestly a no would have been better than this. I told my recruiter that I was surprised because I got great feedback on my interviews. She said she agreed; she looked over my interview notes and could only see that I struggled to answer a question about incentive pricing as the reason why the team would undercut me. I have interviewed with dozens of tech companies and have never left an interview process feeling so undervalued and disrespected as I did with Uber.
Overall, this was a terrible candidate experience for me and a waste of my time.
