Interview Process
During the phone screen interview with Uber, I was asked to solve the Robot Grid Distance Challenge. The problem required me to calculate the distance a robot would travel on a grid based on certain movement constraints. I explained my thought process clearly and wrote code to implement the solution. The interviewer seemed pleased with my approach and provided hints when I was stuck. We discussed optimization strategies and edge cases towards the end of the interview. Overall, it was a positive experience that lasted around 16 minutes.
