I had a phone interview with Uber for a backend SWE role. While i was expecting LC medium/hard question, I got a OO coding and design question with multiple steps. I got three follow ups done and time was up. Did they change the format? Or they are giving me this format because they are not hiring for that role anymore? When I search phone screening for Uber here at Blind, I see people getting LC. TC: consulting tc🥜 Yoe 10 #software #swe
I actually preferred if he asked an LC medium. This sort of OO design etc questions are easy enough that bring bar too low. Right now the only thing that can keep me in the game is if he liked me as a person or not.
There is literally zero evidence that leet code interviews result in higher quality engineering output.
Yeah don’t care about that. Only care if i move to next round
Wasn’t it supposed to be a CodeSignal?
No this was an interactive multiple follow up question. Building from simple to more complex. I guess partly what they want to see if how much complexity you can add in a short amount of time.
Dude did you move to the next round?
Was it on codesignal though?
Did you make it???
Asking candidates questions that are relevant to the job and their experience? Let’s hope this becomes a trend.
