Colloquio
Cons
- Disorganized process, beginning with the HR
- They are clearly idea farming from their candidates
- The feeling that you're vastly smarter than the interviewers and they're not pushing your thinking to see how you think, but pushing your thinking because they need to come up with new ideas to present to their manager
- In terms of optics, it appeared if you're not young, white, and arrogant, you're out of luck
- Don't care about your experience at all - the interview is strictly based on their immediate needs and how you will contribute ideas to their growth. While you may think this is beneficial, it is clear the team I interviewed with is struggling for technical proficiency and industry experience.
Pros
- The interviews were fun if you can get past the fact that they're using you for free consulting
- The "rigor" of their process is what you'd want in a prospective employer
- Got a youthful vibe and a high energy environment
Declined because I knew I wouldn't learn anything from the inexperienced team there. They sell a great future and RSUs, but this is not enough to overcome the feeling that they're all talk with little substance. It is a company benefitting only from a disruptive idea and not how the company itself is run, all the way down to its local teams. Having looked at the LinkedIn profiles of many of their American, Canadian, and UK employees, there is a general vibe of inexperienced staff who are seemingly using this to validate their poor resumes - sorry, Uber isn't a reputable name anymore!

Colloquio
Interview process was typical. Asking leadership, teamwork, and case questions to see how well you problem solve on the spot. The interview process was 3-4 steps, the last being a round robbin with many of the similar roles.

Colloquio
I applied to Uber on their careers website. It took about a month for a recruiter to reach out to start the process. The process consisted of a phone screen with a recruiter, a skills test, a video conference with someone from the hiring team, and an in person round. I did not make it past the video conference stage. The phone screen was pretty standard. The skills test was timed (2 hours) assessing excel skills using mock data related to the Uber business and critical/strategic thinking skills based on data and general knowledge of Uber's business. The video conference contained questions regarding past data experience and Uber business-specific questions. I found it odd that candidates needed to know so much about Uber's business practices going into interviews, especially in areas that are not public knowledge. The process was pretty quick after the initial contact from the recruiter (2 weeks).
