Uber Software Engineer interview experience

There were three questions, with two of them leaning heavily on string work—hashing and slicing were involved—and the third was a greedy-style problem. The mix made it harder to settle into one familiar pattern.

What surprised me most was how quickly the round demanded multiple different skill sets. Even when I could make progress, the questions kept pushing toward more careful reasoning rather than just straightforward implementation. By the end, it didn’t feel like a minor miss; it felt like the difficulty level was genuinely high for me that day.
