Interview Process
This was a technical phone screen with Uber for a Software Engineer position. The interviewer was very friendly and tried to make the conversation comfortable. I was asked to solve problems related to algorithms and data structures, specifically focusing on robot grid distance challenges.
Technical Questions
- Robot Grid Distance Challenge (BFS, Shortest Path)
You have a grid representing a field where a robot can move. Find the shortest distance it can travel from the top-left corner to the bottom-right corner, given that some obstacles are in its way.
Tips & Insights
We discussed several approaches, and I was able to come up with a BFS solution. The interviewer provided hints to optimize the solution further, which was a good learning experience. Additionally, there was a behavioral section where I was asked about my previous projects and how I worked within a team. Overall, I think it went well, but I’m waiting to hear back on the outcome.
