Product Manager interview
at Uber.

Tell-me-about-a-time stories on ownership, conflict, and impact — scored against this company's real values.

1. 01 Tell me about a time you made a big, bold bet on a product direction with incomplete information and how you managed the downside risk.
2. 02 Describe a time you had to build globally but live locally by adapting a feature to the regulatory or cultural realities of a specific market.
3. 03 Give an example of when being customer obsessed led you to override internal stakeholders or a revenue goal.
4. 04 Tell me about a time you valued an idea over hierarchy and pushed back on a senior leader's product decision.

The hard screen for the craft itself — talked through out loud, not whiteboarded in your head.

1. 01 There are more Uber drop-offs at the airport than pickups; why might that be, and what would you change in the product to fix it?
2. 02 Estimate how many riders are concentrated at a single downtown location during peak rush hour and how you'd use that to inform dispatch.
3. 03 We're considering a new ad placement on the app homepage; how do you decide whether to ship it and what metrics would you watch?
4. 04 How would you redesign Uber's driver-facing app to reduce cancellations after a match is made?

Open-ended design of the systems this company actually runs, with the interviewer probing your tradeoffs.

1. 01 Design a surge pricing product from the user's perspective, including how you'd communicate price changes to riders to preserve trust.
2. 02 Design the rider-driver matching experience and the product levers you'd expose to balance ETA, price, and driver earnings.
3. 03 Design an ETA feature for the rider app and decide how you'd handle and message inaccurate arrival predictions.
4. 04 Design a new Uber product offering for a low-density rural market where the standard dense-city matching model breaks down.
