“Interviews can be stressful and we completely understand that. Do not become discouraged or give up when you face challenges. The interview aims to understand your approach to solving tough problems, which is something we do every day at Uber. Be calm and explain your thought process. Ask questions to demonstrate your capabilities.”
“The interviews aren't typically easy but they are logical. Take your time to understand the question first. Ask questions to clarify what is expected, this way interviewer can understand your approach and give you tips in case you get stuck.”
“When a problem is presented to you, don’t start drawing the solution immediately. First, ask questions to clarify all the details you need. While drawing a solution, walk the interviewer through your thought process. Uber is not just interested in your answer, but your thought process and how you build a solution. Consider trade-offs and explain them.”
