UBER ANALYTICS TEST

As part of your Uber interview process, especially for General Manager, Associate General Manager, Marketing Manager and Operations and Logistics Manager positions, Uber will ask you to take the Uber Analytics Test.

INTERVIEW # 1 – RECRUITER SCREEN

The first test in a series of interviews is your recruiter screen. He or she will ask you a few questions regarding your background and fit to Uber.

A few sample questions: 

1. Why Uber?
2. Tell me more about your background.
3. What makes you a good fit to Uber.

THE RECRUITER SCREEN LASTS ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES

INTERVIEW # 2 – UBER ANALYTICS TEST

The second part of the screen will be a Uber Analytics Test which you will be asked to complete over the next 2-3 days.

After the recruiter screen, you will get an email as follows:

Dear XYZ, 

Thanks for taking the time to chat with me! As promised, please see the following exercises.

Essentially this test is designed to give us a sense of your experience managing raw data, as well as your basic instinct for numbers. Below are some important things to remember when completing this exercise:

The test is timed (2 hours), and will begin as soon as you clink on the link and enter your information so pay attention to the two hour time limit and make sure that you start this when you know you’ll be interruption free for the full two hours. Really.

Since you’re doing analysis and downloading raw data, make sure you’re at a computer that handles Excel/CSV files well.

You MUST hit submit before the two hours is up so the test will have a record of your answers.

It’s good practice to save your data/workbook in case we need to ask follow up questions.
