I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uber (Irvine, CA) in Oct 2013
Interview
There was no interview or real contact with the company at all. I Just submitted the required paperwork they approved me and off I went. They later cut off my driving without notice by requiring a new background check. I was never notified if that ever went through. Very poor tracking of your status through the hiring process. Mistakes were rampant and impossible to fix. They let me drive anyway.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Uber (Santa Monica, CA) in Mar 2013
Interview
Long vetting process because there were a ton of people applying for driver jobs. First they give us the rundown about the company. We have to take a test; then we interview. They also do a background check on applicants. After that I went through a training seminar where Uber defined and explained the rules to follow as a driver. We then get our equipment. Our cars are also checked out to make sure they're in good working order.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Interviewer asked were a lot of hotels were located in Los Angeles. I knew some but not all. He said they have a lot of passengers who want to go to hotels. I've been driving for Uber for more than a year and only had three trips to the Standard and Roosevelt Hotels.
