Entrevista
One of the longest interview I have ever seen that too without any result.
Uber contacted me on 7th July 2020 for a Senior Software Engineer position. Just to give a glimpse of how long the interview process was, my first round was on the date 25 August 2020 and the last round was on 29 September 2020.
In total 6 rounds(All over the zoom call, due to the pandemic)
- Technical screening (Code challenge to make sure you can write code)
- DS & Algo coding round
- JS coding round
- System design round
- Hiring manager round
- Bar raiser
According to the recruiter, I had cleared all the rounds, even the Hiring manager & bar raiser panel had good feedback but, they still asked me to go through one more technical round(JS round), which I did, and since then, I am just waiting for my result. The recruiter has even stopped responding to my emails.
My only question to the Uber team, even after clearing all the rounds, why the company is still not having an answer?

Pregunta 1
DS, Algos, System design & agile related questions
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.

Pregunta 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.
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.
