I was contacted by Uber in early September for an AE opportunity. I was promptly offered several verticals to interview with. I was given a recruiter screen, a 1:1 with the hiring manager, and a final presentation (12 slides to present). After my presentation, I was given zero feedback despite asking for it, and was told to await further instruction from the recruiter. Several days later, I am contacted and informed I did not make the cut for that team, however there was an adjacent opportunity as an Account Executive that I could also interview for. The catch? I need to run through my presentation again. This is where the wheels fell off. The second team I interviewed were both late to the presentation, and couldn't look any less interested to speak with me. I was never informed my candidacy status after that. It's a shame that companies like Uber can waste so much of their candidates (and employee's time).

I interviewed with the Uber Eats team, and the recruiters were very friendly, helpful, and supportive throughout the process. My next interview was with the Hiring Manager, and I had a great conversation learning more about the role and discussing how my skills and experience could be a strong benefit to the team. Overall, it was a great interview experience. However, I was not selected to move forward, and the feedback I received was that I did not answer the situational questions using the STAR method. I found this a bit confusing because, from my understanding, the Hiring Manager did not ask any behavioral or situational scenario-based questions during the interview. That said, I still appreciate the opportunity and the positive experience throughout the process.
