Interview Process
I recently had two interviews with Uber. The first was with a friendly interviewer who asked questions similar to variations of the “Move Zeroes” problem. Initially, I thought it was an unfamiliar problem, but I realized that the solution approach was the same as I prepared.
The second interview was more challenging and involved a mean interviewer. The problem was somewhat similar to a BFS question I had seen before, but upon further reflection, it turned out to be quite different. I initially thought I could solve it quickly using BFS, but as I worked through the problem, I found that pure BFS wasn’t sufficient. The interviewer’s frequent sighs were quite distracting, and while I managed to complete the problem, my mindset was affected. High-intensity interviews can be really exhausting.
