1. Applied through Uber Careers.

2. Call with HR about my motivations, previous experience, and to know more about the role (casual, easy).

3. Code screening: CodeSignal test with 4 questions. I completed 3 out of 4 and achieved a passing score. You can find more information online about how to prepare for CodeSignal tests; it was pretty standard.

4. Interview loop: 4 interviews (2 Algorithms and Data Structures, 1 System Design, 1 Leadership and Collaboration).

   • Algorithm questions required graph traversal knowledge. The other was a basic data structure question, but I've forgotten the specifics.
   • Leadership and collaboration focused on my background, which was also fairly standard. I prepared by reviewing Uber's values and demonstrating initiative, collaboration skills, self-drive, willingness to help others, and the ability to take ownership.
   • For system design, they asked a very standard "top 10" type of question. Studying system design cases related to the Uber Drive and Uber Eats platforms might be helpful.

Sadly, I failed the system design interview due to my lack of preparation. Still, I had a nice experience with the interviewers, and HR was helpful throughout. They provided ample preparation material that aligned with the interview content.

For leadership interviews, prepare stories showcasing that you:

• Have initiative.
• Have a drive to collaborate with others.
• Can help mentor and onboard.
• Can take ownership of projects.
• Can communicate effectively with stakeholders.
