1. find the data structure to store them
2. calculate the product of them
The interview process started with a recruiter screen where they covered my background and the role's expectations. Next, I had a phone screen focused on technical skills where I faced a DSA question on frequent elements in an array. I had practiced similar problems on prachub.com beforehand, which helped me tackle it effectively. The technical rounds consisted of coding and system design questions, including rate limiting. Finally, I had a behavioral interview where they assessed cultural fit. Overall, the experience was average, but I received and accepted an offer.
I applied online. I interviewed at Uber in May 2026
