Interview Process
The tech phone screen at Uber focused on problem-solving and algorithmic questions. The primary challenge was the Robot Grid Distance Challenge, which involved calculating the shortest path on a grid. I was asked to explain my thought process thoroughly as I coded the solution. There were follow-up questions that tested edge cases and performance considerations. The interviewer was very friendly and encouraged me to think aloud. After solving the primary problem, I was given a bonus question that also involved dynamic programming concepts. I was encouraged to discuss my previous experiences as well, which helped build rapport.
