🚀 My Uber SDE 2 Interview Experience

Hey everyone!
I wanted to share my ongoing interview experience with Uber - might be helpful for those preparing for similar rounds.

📩 Initial Contact

An Uber recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn in the second week of September 2025 regarding this opportunity.
After completing the OA the next week, I requested some prep time until the end of October 2025, which they kindly agreed to.

💻 Round 1 - Coding Interview

The first coding round happened a couple of days ago, and the problem was exactly this one:
🔗 Alien Dictionary — LeetCode

Unfortunately, I hadn’t come across this question before since it’s a premium one, but I managed to solve it during the interview.

There were a bunch of follow-ups, optimzations which I was able to answer within 1 hour of the interview.

The interviewer emphasized time and space complexity, so be prepared to explain your approach clearly and optimize where possible.

📞 Round 1 - Post-Interview Update

Got a call from the recruiter afterward — she mentioned that the round went really well, and they’d be scheduling the second coding round soon. 🙌

That’s where things stand for now.
I’ll keep this post updated as I progress through the next rounds. Hopefully, this helps someone who’s in the same boat!
