J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Uber (Seattle, WA) en avr. 2022
Entretien
The process with the recruiter was very smooth (no call, only email).
Tech screening - the worst experience I have had to date
- I asked clarifying questions on the input. The interviewer (probably unintentionally) misled me. Thus I had a different algorithm than what was needed.
- Sample inputs were bad and unclear on input format. This added to the wrong clarification from the previous point (the same input would apply to multiple questions, likely interviewer got this from a different question).
- Interviewer was in his kitchen with video on (totally fine). But another person frequented the video and peered into the screen often. They has side conversations with the other person, with the mic on. Very distracting to know if they were talking to me
- I implemented the solution for my understanding of the question, and discussed its complexity. Only then did he say that my understanding was different from what he wanted
- 15 min left., I am trying to implement the new aldo, and the interviewer insists that I use a particular data structure ONLY
- Interviewer did not know what a "post-increment operator" is!!
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Leetcode hard question-related arrays and trees. The question itself is not on LC, but would be classified as hard
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.

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.
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.

Round 1 - Coding
Question: Count Rectangle-Line Intersections. Given a set of rectangles and a set of vertical line segments, count how many places the vertical lines intersect the rectangle edges (ignoring edge-on-edge overlaps).
