Fui entrevistado pela Uber (Hyderābād) em nov. de 2017
Entrevista
Multi round interview. Started with online meeting with online editor. Had to switch camera on for some company policy - don't understand the real reason for not trusting the candidate. Expectation was to get correct output code for 2 problems in 40 mins - seems unfair considering you are coding on unfamiliar web IDE. Went ok for me. Following is onsite interview review. 4.5 hrs spent on site for 3 interviews.
Overall experience is marked negative because
1. I felt interviewers were rigid on expected solution on a non-calibrated design question. I still doubt their solution will work. Read thru answers to think about details.
2. Compared to other companies in this pay bracket the interview was unstructured (leave out coding round).
3. The reason for rejection given to me was not even checked in interviews.
Given two async streams -
Trip : {tripId, date, city}
Bill: {billId, tripId, date, amount}
Design a system to get real time aggregated view of following nature
City, TripCount, TotalAmount
Events in both streams can be out of sync or duplicate. But result needs to be accurate and realtime.
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.
2 coding phases + 1 system design + 1 behavior.
It followed the Big Tech interview process.
The interviewers were nice and supportive,
I really enjoyed the process.
You must be sharp at your coding skills for sure,
they are very technical.
