Uber publishes its engineering loop stage by stage: a recruiter call, a HackerRank assessment, a 60-minute technical screen that covers design and architecture as well as coding, then two 60-minute coding rounds and a named collaboration and leadership round.
4 of 7 stages you can practise here
An online coding assessment Uber lists between the recruiter call and the technical screen. Uber does not publish a duration or a problem count for it.
Uber's own label is "Business (Technical) Phone Screen to Assess Coding + Design & Architecture Competencies (Online | 60 min)". Design and architecture are assessed inside this screen rather than as a separate round.
2 rounds you can practise
Shared editor, camera on, brief intros then straight to 1-2 problems
Same live-editor setup, higher bar
Uber publishes this as "Software Engineering - Depth in Specialization (Coding 2)", 60 minutes. The applied round, weighted toward your domain rather than general algorithms.
Conversational, STAR-driven, calibrated interviewer
Uber names a "Decision" stage in which recruiters and hiring teams review performance against the role criteria. Uber does not publish committee mechanics or a debrief format.
Built from what Uber publishes about its own process and from real interview data. No leaked question lists. The questions you get are generated against your own resume, so they are not from anyone else's interview.
Engineering culture and values framing: engineers 'trusted to explore and experiment freely, using innovation to drive impact'; 'systems that learn from billions of signals in real time'; domains include AI/ML, autonomous vehicles, real-time and marketplace systems.
Uber SWE level ladder: L3 (SWE I, entry) through L4 (SWE II), L5 (Senior 5a / Staff 5b), and L7+. Compensation context only, no interview-process detail.
Uber's published engineering loop with its own stage names and durations: recruiter or sourcer call (30 min), HackerRank coding assessment, "Business (Technical) Phone Screen to Assess Coding + Design & Architecture Competencies" (60 min), Algorithms & Data Structures (60 min), Depth in Specialization (60 min), Collaboration & Leadership (60 min), Decision. Shows the L3, L4, L5A, L5B, L6+ ladder and names no standalone system design round.
