Science at Uber is at the heart of what drives our business forward. You’re here because we see you've got the analytical, problem solving and teamwork skills it takes to be successful at Uber.
The Sciences interview process at Uber is designed to assess a wide range of technical, problem solving, and communication skills across multiple stages. Consider this page your toolkit for acing the interview, 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!
We hire people who live our values, excel in our key competencies, and know how to deliver results. If you’ve got the skills, the passion, and a proven track record of success, you're already buckled up and ready for the ride of a lifetime.
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:
We’re trip obsessed and want to make sure your candidate journey is a smooth, 5-star experience. 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.
Virtual interviews
Before your interview: Download Zoom, test the link in your invite, and ensure screen sharing and video permissions are enabled (check macOS and Chrome/Zoom settings). Contact your Talent Coordinator if you experience technical issues. If you’ve received a CodeSignal or HackerRank link, log in and have it open in advance.
On the day: Set up in a quiet, well-lit space with no distractions. Test your camera, microphone, and internet connection, and use headphones for better audio quality.
Right before the interview: Silence your phone, plug in your device, have water nearby, and join a few minutes early. Do not use video filters, background effects, or screen overlays.
Important: While we embrace AI in our work, do not use any external assistance during the interview process. This includes search engines, documentation sites, collaboration with others, or AI tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot, or similar.
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 your competencies 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. When speaking about a project, be specific about the role you played in it. Be prepared to discuss technical choices, decisions, and trade-offs that you’ve made in your current and/or past projects.
Know our values: Understand Uber’s values and prepare examples of how they align with your past work.
