Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). O processo levou 2 meses. Fui entrevistado pela Uber (San Francisco, CA) em nov. de 2019
Entrevista
Just so extremely disorganized.
First recruiter re-scheduled call with me minutes after the call was supposed to have already started. She selected a new time and told me she would call me then ...I had to move some stuff around to make it work.
On the phone first recruiter sounded like a bored/tired robot reading from a script. I decided to move forward because I thought maybe it was just a bad recruiter.
The first technical phone screen was fine. Very little dialogue
Then I made it to onsite and was passed over to another recruiter. He was really nice. We scheduled the onsite but then they had to re-schedule it.
They gave me an Uber code to use morning of the onsite but then the morning of the onsite the code did not work.
When at the onsite everyone was friendly but the disorganization was just so pervasive. My last interviewer just did not show up and the recruiter was emailing me to tell me about it as if I am checking my email during an onsite -_- Anyway someone replaced the last interviewer 15 minutes late.
After onsite I heard back pretty quickly but the next steps were poorly executed. I was told the VP approval would take 24-48 hours max and yet it took almost an entire week. I had to email each day to follow up because I had other companies waiting.
There was little room for negotiation with their offer.
I rejected the offer a few weeks ago and yet I am still getting the reminder email to accept my offer from their automated system.
Overall just a very disorganized experience.

Basic data structures and algorithms. Design instagram scroll up. Design instagram scroll down etc
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.

Pergunta 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.
