Uber Interview Questions

Vipul A. - "I would like to clarify the scope of this question - It is only limited to Uber rides and not Uber eats. correct? For us to gauge whether Uber should accept cash or not, lets first understand why would Uber want to do this, a few reasons which come to mind: Uber wants to acquire more customers (non-digital payment users) Uber wants to provide alternative options to existing users and make it easier for them to book with Uber Strategic reason - competition has started accepting cash or i"See full answer

Asish B. - "The supply and demand for Uber Eats may be greatly impacted in the near future by the two macroeconomic factors listed here. Each trend links to large alterations in consumer behavior, labor markets, and cost structures that can cascade across the delivery ecosystem. Changes in Consumer Spending and Inflation Growing Costs and Fees for Food: Customers may order fewer deliveries or choose less expensive goods if food prices, restaurant running costs, or delivery fees increase as a result of"See full answer

Anonymous Panda - "As a Technical Program Manager at a software company, I was responsible for leading a project that aimed to implement a new feature in our software that would significantly enhance the user experience. The new feature required a significant investment in terms of time and resources. During one of the weekly status update meetings with the company's leadership, I presented the project's progress and proposed a plan for the next steps. However, I failed to convince the leadership to allocate the n"See full answer

Daniel M. - "Clarifying questions / Assumptions: Scope: US market Constraints: none Limiting to UberX, Uberpool, UberXL services On-the-ground operations: event operations, things going on as people arrive or leave the event Defining 'events': scoping it down to concerts or large-scale events (that typically have a lot of traffic) Defining 'better experience': easier to get to and leave events Goal: I will optimize for greater user satisfaction with our service, which should translate in"See full answer

Priyanka S. - "I'd like to first clarify to understand where we currently stand- Have we already built the MLP pf the product or are we looking to solve for should we build this and if so, can we do this in 6 months? Assuming Scenario where the product is ready, looking for GTM feasibility I'll work with the dev and analytics team to understand the effort and timeline around experimentation. I'll also include marketing team to understand timelines post experiment if we were to launch. This will help us ident"See full answer

Amin S. - "We can implement Mall psychology, use the monkey effect, FOMO, top-rated stuff from the same restaurants, bundle offers like couple or group offers, and prompt popups for free delivery if you complete X$ amount by adding X item. We can lure customers by giving free subscriptions to Spotify, Netflix, etc. by collaborating with these giants. This is a long-story-short overview of how we can increase the average basket size. Tracking telemetry and refining can make a difference obviously..."See full answer

Preethi R. - "A peer-to-peer car rental is a 2-sided marketplace, with two types of users : 1) those who want to rent a car (demand), 2) those looking to rent out their car (supply). So, there are two main challenges for us to solve for through our MVP: 1) the classic (critical mass) marketplace problem of ensuring enough demand and supply. Either side will not find the product useful unless, there is enough of the other group of users, 2) In the case of peer-to-peer car rental, we are also trying to change u"See full answer

Anzhe M. - "Not my answer, but rather the details of this question. It should include the following functions: int insertNewCustomer(double revenue) -> returns a customer ID (assume auto-incremented & 0-based) int insertNewCustomer(double revenue, int referrerID) -> returns a customer ID (assume auto-incremented & 0-based) Set getLowestKCustomersByMinTotalRevenue(int k, double minTotalRevenue) -> returns customer IDs Note: The total revenue consists of the revenue that this customer bring"See full answer

Exponent - "This is a Measure Success question with a slight twist. The twist here is we need to consider a hypothetical changes rather that one already built. This changes our formula slightly - specifically we may not be able to apply a UX flow to drive analysis since we're unsure of the implementation. Instead, we'll look at core behaviors that are indicative of success. Here's the modified formula: Ask clarifying questions State the goal of the feature **Apply a UX flow to drive a"See full answer

Luke P. - "A full stack developer could be summarized as the person who both writes the APIs and consumes the APIs. They are familiar with Databases/Data-layer services, middle-layer/application services and business logic, and finally familiar with the consumers whether front-end applications/UIs or other systems. They can understand the trade-offs up and down the stack, where to adjust along the service-call-path. Ideally they are comfortable programming both async calls (front end javascript promises, e"See full answer

Exponent - "This is another Fermi problem — an estimation or approximation problem with limited information and back-of-the-envelope calculations. There's no right answer: interviewers want to understand how you think and how well you can explain your reasoning, rather than what you already know. Recall the formula for Fermi problems: Ask clarifying questions Catalog what you know Make equation(s) Think about edge cases to add to equation **Breakdown components of your"See full answer
