J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Uber (Amsterdam) en nov. 2015
Entretien
Usually there are 4 interviewing steps. HR first. Then I was interviewed at Amsterdam office, then San Francisco and finally was onsite. My favorite question: what paper about distributed systems do you like most? Each step goes through coding in CoderPad and theoretical questions. Guys usually ask to code a solution to one problem (like one you can found at LeetCode) or from practice. Everyone was very friendly so it was fun. Onsite interview took through interviewing with 8 people (usually by 2 in an hour) for 6 hours with coding, algorithms, behavioral questions and etc + lunch. Finally i have good overall impression. They look wide and wise. It was nice experience to be interviewed by them. p.s. I was asked for reimbursement, but they didn't for real.
Questions d'entretien [3]
Question 1
What is a Consistency (in CAP theorem)? Is Paxos consistent protocol?
The phone screen lasted about 30 minutes and began with general questions about my background before diving into technical topics. I was asked to solve a DSA question on finding the top K frequent elements, discussing both the min-heap and bucket-sort approaches. Surprisingly, I had recently practiced a similar problem on the algorithm section of PracHub, which helped me articulate my thought process clearly. The interview continued with an onsite where I tackled system design and behavioral questions, and overall, the experience was straightforward and positive, leading to an offer that I happily accepted.

Question 1
Top K Frequent Elements: given an integer array and integer k, return the k most frequent elements. Walk through both the min-heap approach (O(n log k) time) and the bucket-sort approach (O(n) time), then discuss the trade-offs in time, space, and which one you'd pick for a streaming variant where new numbers keep arriving.
Surprisingly, the interview felt quite straightforward, especially for a senior role. I started with a technical screen, where I was asked to design an Uber Eats cart service. It caught me off guard initially, but then I remembered a specific mock I had practiced on PracHub that was nearly spot-on with this scenario. The final round included some behavioral questions, and although I received an offer, I ultimately decided to decline. Overall, it was a positive experience.

Round 1 - Coding
Question: Count Rectangle-Line Intersections. Given a set of rectangles and a set of vertical line segments, count how many places the vertical lines intersect the rectangle edges (ignoring edge-on-edge overlaps).
