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. The interviewer was friendly and appreciated my approach. 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.
