Interview Process
I applied through the Uber careers page and received an email within a week for a phone screen interview. The interview lasted for about 30-40 minutes, during which the interviewer primarily focused on my resume and past experiences. We proceeded with a coding challenge where I was asked to solve the “Robot Grid Distance Challenge”. I explained my thought process as I coded, discussing edge cases and potential optimizations. After completing the coding part, we discussed some system design concepts related to scalable systems. The overall experience was positive, though I felt a bit unprepared for the design questions, as my focus had primarily been on algorithms.
