Uber interview difficulty

They don’t ask leetcode questions onsite. The question that I got during my phone screening was also not from the list and not a typical leetcode question. Just solve different type of questions and don’t try to just memorize everything.

Obviously this varies from one interviewer to other, but we typically avoid questions from leetcode.

Actually when I went into Uber , my interview I felt was pretty simple and lame - likely he simplest interview I had

did you pass phone round? How long do you hear back after phone? I have waited a week already.

On my on-site interview, the very first session I was asked a question which involved using algorithms like - BFS (with parent pointer passing), Topological sort (for optimization) and backtracking all in one question. Go with leetcode for practicing algorithms and data structures. Make sure you are very comfortable in implementing all the algorithms and data structures in your preferred language, since you need to do live coding and show output. However don’t expect the question to be from leetcode. Focus on whens, whys and hows of applying the algorithms and data structures.

Mine had a very simple solution of BFS which I had to implement. Finished ahead of time. Only one algorithm question out of 4 interviews.

I got a greedy algo hard on phone interview

Uber interview is inconsistent. Each group does own thing

Two leetcode hard questions. Both can be found on leetcode

In 2 coding rounds in on-site I didn’t get any leetcode questions however similar concepts were surely needed to solve the problems. Overall it was a good experience and I will rate it as leetcode med - hard.
