Me postulé a través de una recomendación de un empleado. El proceso tomó 4 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Uber en mar 2022
Entrevista
Standard interview with LC medium/hard questions.
I didn't do extremely well so I wasn't expecting a hire decision. I did however expect the recruiter to give a courtesy call or email--or respond to follow-up--that I wasn't selected. It's really not good to have a culture which exhibits the most toxic and not well-tolerated social behaviors. Imagine what they think of you after they hire you. Do you think it improves beyond drawing a paycheck?
It's better to not waste one's time on such a culture unless one has an exit plan going in!
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.
