About the Uber Engineering Manager hiring loop

Uber's system design is the headline round — real-time location services, surge pricing, dispatch algorithms. Coding rounds are LeetCode-medium. Behavioural rounds anchor on the "Uber values" (refreshed in 2022) — Customer Obsession, Build with Heart, Stand for Safety.

Engineering Manager rounds score on people-leadership maturity, project-execution rigour, technical decision-quality, and cross-functional credibility. Behavioural depth (real specific stories) is weighted over framework citation.
