Summary

Uber product sense interview where they asked me to dig into an underperforming feature. Pretty open-ended, which I wasn't fully prepared for.

Questions Asked (1)

Q1

Which Uber feature has potential but hasn't lived up to it yet? Walk through your analysis of the product, opportunities you see, expected impact, how you'd launch it, and how you'd measure success.

Suggested Approach

Choose a feature with clear untapped potential, such as Uber Reserve or Uber Rewards, and structure your answer around a user-centric problem, a strategic opportunity, and a measurable impact. Walk through your analysis by defining the problem, proposing a solution, outlining a launch plan, and specifying success metrics. Show how your proposal aligns with Uber's broader business goals and leverages its unique strengths.

Pro tip: Tie your feature choice to a specific user segment and a clear business outcome, and quantify the expected impact using a simple framework like RICE or HEART. Demonstrating awareness of Uber's two-sided marketplace dynamics and regulatory constraints will set you apart.

1. Select the Feature and Define the Problem

Pick a feature with unrealized potential (e.g., Uber Reserve) and articulate the core user problem it fails to solve today. Support with data or qualitative insights to show why it matters.

2. Analyze the Opportunity and Expected Impact

Identify the target user segment, market size, and strategic fit with Uber's goals. Estimate the potential impact on key metrics like bookings, retention, or revenue using a simple model.

3. Propose a Solution and Launch Plan

Outline a product enhancement or new use case, and describe how you would pilot, iterate, and scale it. Include go-to-market, partnerships, and operational considerations.

4. Define Success Metrics and Measurement Plan

Specify leading and lagging indicators (e.g., adoption rate, repeat usage, NPS) and how you would track them. Explain how you would evaluate success and iterate.

Key Points to Mention

  • User segmentation and jobs-to-be-done for the chosen feature
  • Competitive landscape and differentiation (e.g., Lyft, traditional providers)
  • Uber's marketplace dynamics: supply-demand balance, pricing, and incentives
  • Prioritization framework (e.g., RICE) to justify the opportunity
  • Launch strategy: pilot city, A/B testing, and feedback loops
  • Metrics: adoption, retention, revenue per user, and customer satisfaction
