One key aspect about interviewing with Uber is this – the more you do an all round preparation with fundamentals-first
approach, higher the chances of your success. This is a carefully compiled guide to help you navigate our interview process.

MAIN FOCUS AREAS (DOMAIN-SPECIFIC)

Remember: Ability to write great

code is one thing, demonstrating
Coding / great coding ability in an interview
Problem is another. Focus on syntactically
Solving and logically correct code (see
chart on the right for more)

While it is great to know the what of

Software Engineering, equally (if not
CS more) important is the how – that is
Fundamentals where knowledge of fundamentals
is key!

The difference between a

functionally correct code and great
Design code: Modularity, Maintainability,
Scalability, and Time Complexity.
