The interview process was bizarre. A recruiter reached out to me to see if I was interested in the role. I told him sure and so he explained the interview process and what I should expect. Following my initial interview, there was the excel test. You have 2 hours to complete it. There are 16 Excel based questions, about 10 - 12 simple math and business strategy questions and then 3 - 4 short essays. Once I passed the excel test I was then put in contact with an HR person to help prepare me for the remaining rounds. This person could not stress enough how daunting the remaining process would be. How smart everyone at Uber was and how much I would be challenged. It was essentially a scare tactic. I have never heard of a company trying to scare candidates about the interview process. The next round was a video conference with a GM. We discussed my background and then got into Uber operations. How would you handle XYZ scenario? He tried to act intimidating and unimpressed. I was beginning to be unimpressed with Uber. He said the role was very competitive and there were lots of very qualified candidates interviewing for the role ("ohh no, how scary") and that I may hear back within a couple of days if the team would like to move forward. Surprise surprise, I did hear back and was invited into their office for a "final round" (what an honor). The round consisted of 4 separate interviews. There was a data/math interview. A strategy interview. An operations based interview and finally a behavioral/fit interview. After that "grueling day" I was asked to do another case study. This was annoying because I was expecting to be done with the interview process. The recruiters had been accurate up until this point but this is where things got weird. I did a case study on launching Uber into a new market and what that may look like and blah blah. I was then asked to come back in and present it. In the end, I received and offer but decided not to accept it. The offer was 85K base with what they described as 80K in equity. The vesting period is 5 years. 5 freaking years. Not to mention the equity is essentially worthless at this point. Absolutely worthless. Most people agree that Uber is currently overvalued. Uber has raised over $8.0 Billion dollars. The shares are so diluted and worthless. I was unable to negotiate on my salary and so I declined the offer. I asked the recruiter if I could have zero equity and raise my salary to 105K and she said that there was no chance. It was at that point I decided not to accept the offer.
