Uber Sr Software Engineer interview questions

Overall a nice experience with Uber in Amsterdam. Recruiters and interviewers are respectful and timely with answers. Was scheduled to have 2 phone interviews before an on-site. Made it to the 2nd one before unexpectedly being cut, for reasons I'll detail below. When I asked for a bit more specific feedback, the recruiter was kind enough to collect it and share it over the phone. 1st phone screen was mostly just a coding question using a shared editor on hackerrank. It was mostly data structures-related, and when I got a bit stuck on 1 part of the problem, interviewer and I talked it through. 2nd phone screen was a small discussion on a past project, then a high-level design discussion, then a coding question at the end. I really thought I breezed through every portion, the interviewer never challenged me, and only had to sit back and watch while I was implementing the live coding question. There were some minor compilation errors at the end (missing constructor and getters/setters, using a method that was part of the List interface instead of Collection interface ). Nothing show-stopping at all, and immediately afterwards the algorithm printed out the correct solution on the 1st try. Afterwards received a rejection, and after the call, found out that although the interviewer found me to be very communicative, but it was my "coding speed" and "syntax errors" that ultimately led me to be rejected. I'll let you draw your own conclusions there.

Good experience overall. I had a video conferencing round remotely first and a couple of rounds on site in Bengaluru. Questions were from average to difficult. Uber was very hospitable in terms of travel and accommodation too.
