Uber Amsterdam telephonic screening for senior engineer. What to expect?

phone screening. phone.

what is this “telephonic”. is it 1997. presumably Apple Music must be referred to as the interphonograph?

Easier than the personic interview

They'll ask you to do video chat to see if you're fit for a spot in the window.

The biggest part will be coding. You’ll get a problem and will need to crank out a solution to it via Hackerrank Codepair. Practice Leetcode medium and you should be fine. Aim to understand the problem (and clarify if you don’t), have working code, be unafraid to run it frequently and don’t forget to execute test cases to validate of what you did is correct. If your code does not run or does not solve the problem, you’re toast. You might also be asked to talk about how you would design a specific system, high level. Same as above - understand the question, talk about some simple part (you don’t have much time) and brush up on basic large scale operational concepts like caching, rate limiting, horizontal/vertical scaling. Source: I do these interviews. Who knows, we might or might not be chatting (more likely the second, given there are a bunch of us interviewing). Good luck! PS: ask the recruiter what to expect and they should send details on the above as well.
