Uber Software Engineer interview questions

Very quick and enjoyable process. Two phone interviews that were both technical in nature. Onsite was five hours. A good mix of technical, design, and behavioral questions. Uber, more than other companies, really does care about the process rather than the end result. Struggling and realizing what is wrong, then coming up with a better solution is just as good, if not better, than blazing through a problem.

It was surprisingly hard to secure an interview in the first place. Uber was the first company where I had to use employee referral just to reach someone from HR. I did not have any problems getting an interview in any of the top5 companies in the Bay Area . The phone screen with a hiring manager was quick an easy. I was prepared to a difficult coding challenge, but was really baffled by how simple the actual problem was. The onsite interview process was pleasant and very friendly, not intimidating at all. The day started with a culture fit interview with a hiring manager and HR. The rest of the day was equally divided into coding and design questions. After leaving the office I was very happy with my performance during the interview and was almost sure I got the job. However, a few days later I received a polite, but standard response from HR saying that the team decided not to extend an offer to me.
