Interview Process

I had a phone screen interview at Uber where the interviewer asked me a series of questions about my experience and then moved on to coding problems. The interviewer was quite friendly and made me feel comfortable. I was first asked to explain a project I worked on, which involved developing a mobile application. Then, I had to solve a coding challenge related to the ‘Robot Grid Distance’ problem, which I found quite interesting. Finally, I was given some behavioral questions to gauge my fit within the team. Overall, the experience was positive, and I’m hopeful for a follow-up.
