How it went
The candidate was referred for the Staff Software Engineer position at Uber. The interview process included a recruiter call, a coding screen, and a five-round final interview. The final rounds consisted of two coding interviews, a system design interview, a behavioral interview, and a past-project discussion that evolved into a behavioral deep dive. The company emphasized technical depth and consideration of trade-offs, even in coding rounds, over extensive cross-functional narrative.
