I applied via Campus Placement
Questions Asked (in sequence if possible) Started with the usual tell me about yourself. After gauging the kind of work I have done in past, asked me to design a dashboard with some metrics which would help the Uber management improve the bottom line. Discussion on the dashboard led to AI/ML algorithms. I was asked algorithms for K-means etc. There were also some questions related to the parallels of work structure between my past organization and Uber, to distinguish between EPM, TPM and PM etc roles and responsibilities
Even though my interview slot was much later, I reached the venue early as I was very keen on this job. When the interviewers arrived I was the first one to be interviewed and had a good discussion with the interviewer. I had done decent research on the work that Uber had been doing across geographies at the backend (technology front) and was well informed about the recent technology innovations and use cases. Also, I am an extensive user of their app so had a good understanding of their offering. All these helped in different points of the conversation with the interviewer
