Can’t get a DS interview at Uber

I have upcoming interviews at LinkedIn, Google and Lyft, and I have interviewed at Disney/DoorDash/Beyond Meat and a bunch of fast growing start ups. Recruiters at Meta and Amazon have reached out many times over the years. I’m in the final interviewing stages at a few places that are a warm up for Google/Lyft/LinkedIn interviews. I have a PhD in STEM from top university in the USA and 5 years of data science experience (ds, ds lead, ds manager), and previously worked at Tesla. But for the life of me, Uber won’t give me a single interview, even after a referral from someone on Blind?? (Thank you to the person who gave me a referral!!) What’s going on?? Does Uber have something specific they are looking for on data science resumes?

I appreciate it but I already applied and fucked the product sense interview - the case study caught me off guard. Now I’m super prepared tho for similar questions product-sense upcoming questions at Google/Lyft/LinkedIn

They’re probably just not hiring so aggressively right now. And they probably don’t need to. I often wonder how I can get such interest from great companies and never be approached by Apple. Smells fishy.

It's more likely Uber is not a data intelligence driven business. Think about it.
