Uber Interview Experience for Summer Intern (On-Campus)

Uber came for on-campus hiring in our college (IIT Jodhpur). There were a total of 4 rounds.

1st round – Online assessment (Coding round): There were 3 questions in the coding round. The difficulty level was tough. The first question gauged my skill in optimizing solutions by breaking intricate problems into manageable subproblems. I utilized dynamic programming data structures like memoization arrays to efficiently store and retrieve intermediate results. The second question dealt with determining the maximum number of boxes that can fit into another box, considering height and width constraints. The final question focused on number systems, requiring the conversion of a given number from base 2 to base 6. Basic data structures like arrays or strings were used for representing numbers during the conversion process.

I cleared the first round and reached the second round.

2nd round – System Design: This round was more of the technical round where the interviewer first asked me about my introduction and then asked me a question related to system designing. I’d to tell you about the design of a system which checks for the arrival and departure of passengers at an airport and calculate the duration of time they stay there. I coded everything and was selected for the next round.

3rd round – Technical round: In the third round, I was asked to code a question related to graphs. I don’t remember the question exactly but it was more of a travel between cities question. I solved that question but feel that I look a little longer optimizing it.

It was a nice experience. I wish you the best of luck! Just stay patient and keep interacting with the interviewer throughout the interview.
