Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). O processo levou 2 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Uber (San Francisco, CA) em nov. de 2015
Entrevista
A recruiter from Uber contacted me after being referred to my LinkedIn profile, so not sure if this process is exactly the same for all applicants. The recruiter asked if I was interested in learning more about the position and when I said yes, the recruiter put me in contact with another person in charge of hiring. We had a short 30 minute conversation, mostly information about the position. I was then sent a link via email to a "test" that I had 2 hours to complete whenever I had time. It was a 5000 word research proposal outlining and explaining what I would do to increase driver satisfaction and loyalty. This was then sent to the head of the research team who evaluates the test. I was then contacted and told the head of research team wanted to talk with me, so we set up a 45 minute phone conversation. Most of the questions were related to my interest and fit for the job, with only maybe one research-related question (what would I do if I didn't have total research control - I come from a lab-based PhD research program). A lot of the emphasis was on making sure it would be a job that I wanted to do. After that I later found out I did not move onto the final interview stage (an in-person panel interview at hq). I requested feedback and they were nice enough to provide some - said other people seemed more excited about the job than me and that it seemed I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. Left open the opportunity to get back in touch once I had figured out what direction I was heading (industry, academia, etc.)

Pergunta 1
What gets you more excited: applying the content of your research knowledge or applying the research tools and skills you've learned?

The conversation with HR and hiring manager went very well. The next round was asking me to work on a case and sent back my code and PowerPoint to them within 48 hours. They sent me rejection letter a week later. I'm really frustrated with their feedback. They want to hire someone with some kind of skills. The case I worked on had nothing to do with those skills. Every candidate spends lots of time and makes every effort to prepare for job interviews. PLEASE respect other's time and effort.

Entrevista
I had a call with a recruiter, followed by a technical coding interview, a technical research interview and a culture fit interview with current research scientists. All were over the phone/internet.

Pergunta 1
The coding interview was a straight forward question where brute force + dictionary was optimal. This was followed by some slightly harder follow-up questions on modified assumptions about the input data.
The research interview was a pretend first research meeting on a topic given by the interviewer. We brainstormed together and the interviewer probed (fairly lightly) my knowledge on the fields that we touched upon.

I did not make it past the first initial call with HR. If I had continued, the process would have included an interview with a manager, a problem to solve, a portfolio review, and an onsite interview
Although I did receive positive feedback from the recruiter during the interview and I was told I was moving on to the next round, this turned out to not be the case.
I'm not entirely sure what went wrong, but it could be that I did not send a thank-you note until the following week, which might have been interpreted as lack of enthusiasm. Regardless of your personal feelings about superficiality, I recommend that in your interview with Uber you act extremely excited about the company and the product. And send a thank you note immediately.
