      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Uber (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2016

      Interview

      very pleasant interviewers but my software skills didn't cut it. I came away thinking that the people at Uber were very smart yet humble. there was 1 hr phone screen. after the usual chitcat about my resume, I was asked a programming qn that I had to code and compile on coderpad. interviewer gave unit-tests that I had to pass. next followed a 5 hour on-site interview in SF.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      #1: code a music player interface which stores a playlist and supports play, pause, stop, next/prev track, how do you handle errors from h/w. had to code all the classes and how messages worked were exchanged between them and justify my choices. #2: design a csv parse when string has double quotes and newlines. return result of parsing as list<list<string>> with one list per line. when you have a substring within double quotes, you have to ignore commas within double quotes for eg., "a, b, \"hello,world\", xy\ne,f,g" should return a#b#hello,world#xy e# f# g #3: design a image sharing application like instagram (how do you handle traffic spikes, how to handle storage, retrieval, publish to follower feed, caching etc.,) #4: there was a bar raiser interview who asked me to describe how I scaled the graph DB per my resume #5: manager asked behavioral qns like why uber, how do you mentor junior employees, talk about a scenario when you took a risk and it either failed/succeeded, what is your ideal job etc., the first two I had to write, compile and pass their unit tests on coderpad. I could choose the language of choice (c++, java, python etc.,) #3 was just white-boarding.

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Uber

      Interview

      The phone screen lasted about 30 minutes and began with general questions about my background before diving into technical topics. I was asked to solve a DSA question on finding the top K frequent elements, discussing both the min-heap and bucket-sort approaches. Surprisingly, I had recently practiced a similar problem on the algorithm section of PracHub, which helped me articulate my thought process clearly. The interview continued with an onsite where I tackled system design and behavioral questions, and overall, the experience was straightforward and positive, leading to an offer that I happily accepted.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Top K Frequent Elements: given an integer array and integer k, return the k most frequent elements. Walk through both the min-heap approach (O(n log k) time) and the bucket-sort approach (O(n) time), then discuss the trade-offs in time, space, and which one you'd pick for a streaming variant where new numbers keep arriving.

      Interview

      Surprisingly, the interview felt quite straightforward, especially for a senior role. I started with a technical screen, where I was asked to design an Uber Eats cart service. It caught me off guard initially, but then I remembered a specific mock I had practiced on PracHub that was nearly spot-on with this scenario. The final round included some behavioral questions, and although I received an offer, I ultimately decided to decline. Overall, it was a positive experience.
