Uber Interview Experience (On -Campus)

Recently, I got an Interview opportunity at Uber for SDE role. I have discussed my detailed experience as follows:

Coding Round (February):

Uber visited your college to hire for an SDE intern role—multiple students registered for the same opportunity.

Conducted a coding round with 3 DSA questions:

• Burst Balloons
• Weighted Random Numbers
• An easy question related to finding the maximum sum.

Interestingly, I solved 2 questions completely and 1 partially. Selected for the interview process.

Round 1: DSA:

The interviewer asked me to introduce myself and share insights about his team.

I presented a question initially related to binary search.

I discussed the binary search approach for around 30 minutes.

After that given a helpful hint to solve it using the sliding window technique.

You solved it using the hint, and the interviewer was satisfied.

Asked a question similar to Pacific Atlantic Water Flow, and you provided the pseudo-code due to time constraints.

Round 2: DSA + CS Fundamental:

Focused on topics like Threads & Object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts

Asked a medium-level tree question (similar to Maximum Width of Binary Tree on Leetcode), which you solved easily.

Overall, I felt confident about your performance in this round.

Round 3: HR Round:

This was focused on my current project.

Numerous cross-questions to assess your hands-on experience and knowledge.

Behavioural questions to understand your approach and mindset.

Results:

Unfortunately, I was not selected for the role & I know that rejection as part of life’s journey. So, just move on.
