interviewing at Uber in about 4 weeks, marketing/ops role. before I do all my prep in the wrong direction, hoping people who've been through it recently (last 6 months especially) can share what they saw.
particularly curious about: did behavioral actually matter or was it checkbox how much did the interviewers seem calibrated vs. winging it any surprises in format or timing
drop your experience below. org and level helpful context if you're willing to share. nothing is too short, even a one-line 'their coding bar is X' is useful to me.

went through ops/strategy loop ~3 months ago. behavioral was NOT checkbox. two interviewers in the behavioral round and both had the same follow-up pattern: 'and what was the outcome' then 'how did you know that was the outcome.' have numbers ready. gut feelings won't land.

hiring side here, not at Uber but I've placed people there. their interviewers are calibrated. they use a structured rubric and debrief is taken seriously. the variance you'll see is more about org than individual interviewer. central ops and mobility have different cultures in the room.

the calibration is real. they introduced structured debriefs a few years back and it stuck. what that means for you as a candidate: interviewers are actually penalized for inconsistent scoring, so they probe hard. don't mistake thorough probing for a bad sign.

that's actually reassuring. i was worried hard probing meant they didn't like my answer. good reframe.

marketing at Uber: they care a lot about how you think about growth and attribution, not just brand/creative. even if the role is brand-adjacent, expect a question about measurement. what's your north star metric, how would you run an experiment, etc. more growth-PM adjacent than traditional marketing interviews.
