You’re here because we see you've got the grit, resilience and drive it takes to be successful at Uber. Consider this page your toolkit for acing your interviews, packed with insights and tips to help you shine. It’s time to show us how you’ll make your mark. Let’s get started!
Whether you're a creative problem-solver, a strategic thinker, or a hands-on executor, bring your passion and expertise to drive impact—we’re ready to make this journey unforgettable.
You’ll start the interview process by talking with a member of the Talent Acquisition team about the role and your experience. This is a general conversation about your background and skill set as they relate to the role.
Next up, chat with the Hiring Manager about your experience and skills — plus you’ll have the opportunity to ask detailed role-specific questions. *Role-dependent (your Recruiter will let you know what’s needed)
We'll often present you with a job-related task or work simulation to help us understand your functional knowledge and problem-solving approach. This could be anything from an analytics assessment, written assessment, or portfolio review. *Role-dependent (your Recruiter will let you know what’s needed)
Finally, you’ll chat with some members of the hiring team and cross-functional colleagues about core competencies needed to be successful in the role. If you completed an exercise, you might be asked to do a presentation. *Role-dependent (your Recruiter will let you know what’s needed)
Your Recruiter meets with your interview panel to review your performance against the role’s competencies and our values. The team works together to reach a decision, and your Recruiter will be in touch about the outcome. Fingers crossed!
We use competencies to make evidence-based hiring decisions, assess specific skills and behaviors, and understand how you work. Competencies may be used at different stages of your interview process. Your Recruiter will share the competencies you will be assessed for at the right time for the role you are applying for. Make sure you prepare at least one example from your past experience for each using the STAR method.
Example competency questions:
“Describe how you have....”
(Competency: Stakeholder management)
“Tell me about a time when...”
(Competency: Communication)
“Describe a situation that...”
(Competency: Problem solving)
Our values guide how we behave and make decisions, and hiring teams assess every candidate with our values in mind to answer the question: do you demonstrate the Uber values that will allow you to thrive and succeed in our environment? Make sure that you understand our values and prepare examples to show how you have used them in your prior experience to make decisions.
Example value questions:
“Tell me about a project that innovated how you...”
(Value: Trip Obsessed)
“Describe how you work across teams to...”
(Value: One Uber)
To make sure there’s no bumps in the road, please keep your scheduled interview time. Rescheduling is limited, and alternative slots may not be guaranteed.
Think of your interview like an Uber trip — timing matters. Just like a last-minute cancellation can disrupt a ride, rescheduling impacts multiple schedules. Keeping your original time helps ensure a seamless experience for everyone.
