Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I was contacted by Uber.

I had a phone screen. I was interviewed by a young person. I was asked a very simple question and was not sure where they were going with it.

There were no follow-up questions or any technical discussion (complexity, Big O, optimization, design). The interviewer was not interested at all.

They gave a good sales pitch, but during the technical question, they were completely silent, and I was clueless about what they really wanted. There are so many aspects to discuss and improve, but they were not interested in that.

I am not sure why they wasted my time and assigned an incompetent developer for the phone screen.

Questions

Extremely simple coding question asked by a junior developer.
