채용 절차

  • You’ll kick things off by meeting with a member of the Talent Acquisition team to talk about the role and your experience. This is a strategic conversation about how your background and technical skillset align with the position.

    How to prepare:

    • Craft your elevator pitch: Be ready to answer the classic "Tell me about yourself" question. Provide a clear, concise overview of your career, key technical projects, and top accomplishments.
    • Know why Uber: Be prepared to explain why you’re excited about this role at Uber and how it aligns with your goals and values.
    • Understand the role and context: Research the role you’re applying for, the market it supports, and the specific Uber business line. Understand how your skills align with the team’s needs.
    • Know the technical stuff: Get ready to tackle technical questions on Big-O notation, CS fundamentals, and domain-specific topics.
    • Prepare thoughtful questions: Have insightful questions ready to ask at the end of the interview, showing your genuine interest in the role and the company.

    During your interview:

    • Highlight key technical projects: Share examples of impactful projects you’ve worked on, focusing on technical challenges, your approach, and measurable outcomes.
    • Demonstrate your understanding of core concepts: Be ready to talk about key engineering topics like scalability, clean architecture, or dependency injection, depending on the role’s focus.
    • Ask clarifying questions: If you’re unsure about a question or expectation, don’t hesitate to ask. We appreciate candidates who seek clarity.
  • This pair programming interview focuses on problem-solving using HackerRank, covering both Coding and Design & Architecture (D&A). Our goal is to evaluate your coding ability and better understand the complexity and scope of your prior projects using a D&A lens—not to conduct an exhaustive review of your technical depth or design expertise. This serves as an initial evaluation to determine if you qualify for the business interview rounds at the appropriate level.

    Interview Structure:

    • ~45 minutes: Coding
    • ~15 minutes: Design & Architecture

    Coding language to prepare:

    • Your choice. Choose your language wisely and ensure you're highly proficient in it.

    How to prepare:
    • Practice coding: Refresh your coding skills, especially if you’re rusty or unfamiliar with paired coding. Solve a few problems with varying difficulty using platforms like LeetCode. Continuously test your code. Focus on:
      • Common data structures and algorithms (e.g., hash tables, trees, stacks).
      • Data structures, particularly the ones used most often (e.g., arrays, stacks (or queues), hash tables, trees, graphs, and heaps).
      • Runtime analysis (Big-O notation) and optimization techniques.
      • Problem-solving approaches: Practice solving scenarios common in large-scale tech companies.
    • Refresh yourself on Design & Architecture: Be prepared to discuss a project that highlights the complexity and scope of your role, including architectural components and design decision-making. Be ready to discuss trade-offs: Why was one technology chosen over another? What was the reasoning behind key decisions?

    During your interview:
    • Provide a solution on HackerRank: Be ready to write and explain your solution in a live coding environment.
    • Ask clarifying questions: Analyze the problem and make sure that you fully understand it before jumping in. It’s OK to ask clarifying questions during the interview to make sure you understand the exact problem you are trying to solve. Also, breaking down the problem into smaller pieces can be helpful.
    • Account for edge cases: Think through and address edge cases to show thorough problem analysis. One technique to write a better solution is to consider what you would catch if you were code reviewing your code.
    • Communicate your thought process: Walk the interviewer through your reasoning as you solve the problem. Before implementing, discuss your proposed solution to ensure alignment.
    • Keep things simple: If you find the solution getting excessively complex, step back and ask if there’s a simpler way to solve it. It may also be helpful to write everything out so you can see insights and bugs faster and make fewer mistakes.
    • Test and debug: Continuously test your code and handle exceptions to confirm your solution works.
    • Write clear, readable code: Use meaningful variable names and keep formatting consistent for easy understanding.
    • Engage with follow-up questions: Be prepared to dive deeper into your solution and discuss alternative approaches or improvements.

    Other:
    • Reflect on impact: Think about the scope and results of your past roles and how they relate to solving problems at Uber.
    • Review the job description: Identify relevant experiences from your background and prepare to showcase them during the interview.
    • Prepare questions: Consider any role-specific or team-related questions to ask your interviewer.

    Practice Questions:
  • This interview evaluates your problem-solving abilities through coding exercises that demonstrate the appropriate use of algorithms and data structures, as well as idiomatic choices in your programming language. The problems are generic and not tied to a specific technical domain. You are expected to write testable code and clearly identify what you would test.

Virtual interviews

A few days before download: Zoom and test the link provided in your invite. Contact your Talent Coordinator if you encounter technical issues.

On the day of your interview: Find a quiet, well-lit area with no distractions. Test your camera, microphone, and internet connection. Use headphones for better audio quality.

Right before the interview: Silence your phone, plug in your device, and grab water. Join the call a few minutes early.

Role-specific tips

Be pitch ready: Have your elevator pitch ready to answer the classic: "tell me about yourself". Give an overview of your career and top accomplishments.

Understand the role: Understand the role you're applying for and business line (e.g., Uber Eats, Uber for Business). Be ready to explain why you’re passionate about the role and working at Uber beyond brand recognition.

Prepare examples: Understand the role’s competencies mentioned above and reflect on past projects and experiences that showcase your expertise in these areas. Prepare at least 1–2 examples of past projects for each competency.

  • Use the STAR Method

    Structure your answers using the STAR method—describe the Situation, explain the Task at hand, outline the Actions you took, and highlight the Results achieved.

  • Think real world

    면접관은 여러분이 해당 직무를 맡게 되었을 때 실제로 겪을 수 있는 상황에 어떻게 대응하는지를 평가할 것입니다. 실제 발생할 가능성이 있는 문제를 고려하면서 명확하고 체계적인 논리로 의사소통하세요.

자주 묻는 질문

  • Your Recruiter can help you understand the target level for your interview. Different levels may have distinct interview processes. The Business Phone Screen determines the initial level you’re moving forward with, but the final level is decided after the interview panel's evaluation and debrief. Releveling may still occur at that stage based on performance and feedback.

  • Interviews are typically 60 minutes each, but your Recruiter will confirm the exact duration. While the format is generally consistent, there are nuances by domain, and your Recruiter will provide specific details about what to expect.

  • 면접 준비 과정에서는 답변 연습, 직무 조사, 답변의 논리 구성 등을 위해 AI를 활용할 수 있습니다. 그러나 면접 도중에는 AI 도구(예: ChatGPT, 답변 자동 생성 도구, 코드 자동 완성 도구)를 사용할 수 없습니다. 지원자의 역량과 문제 해결 능력, 사고 과정을 실시간으로 평가하는 것이 면접의 목표이기 때문입니다. 면접에서 기술 또는 사례 기반 문제 해결 능력을 선보여야 하는 부분이 있다면, AI의 도움 없이 본인의 답변을 설명하고 정당화할 수 있어야 합니다.

  • Your Recruiter is working diligently to keep things moving. Typically, you can expect your Recruiter to follow up within 2-3 business days after each interview. However, timelines can shift, so if you haven’t heard back, don’t hesitate to reach out!

  • 면접을 완료하고 며칠 후, 피드백 설문 조사를 통해 면접 경험에 대한 여러분의 생각과 인사이트를 공유하실 수 있습니다. 해당 연락을 받지 못하신다면, 채용 담당자에게 문의해 주세요.
