Two Uber reports can look like two different interview processes because they cover different levels and stages. This page keeps an SDE-2 assessment separate from an L5-A Bangalore hiring drive rather than blending them into a single supposed loop.
\nOne candidate reported four questions in 70 minutes and remembered three. The prompts were:
\nThese are the remembered questions in the Uber SDE-2 India OA report (2025). The candidate did not remember the fourth prompt, so it is left out.
\nThe L5-A report describes five stages. The candidate was asked to:
\nThe fifth stage was a hiring-manager discussion, but the post does not provide a named prompt. The four technical prompts and round order are in the Uber L5-A Bangalore report (2025).
\nThe assessment report rewards careful handling of input rules and query updates. The experienced loop adds implementation and design: model dependencies, define task execution, and ask what the nearest-place feature should do when its data is skewed or empty. Those are observations from these accounts, not a claim that every Uber candidate receives them.
\nFor coding preparation, practice explaining complexity before optimizing. For the design stages, clarify the data model and API behavior first. Our system design guide and the company experience hub provide more context.
\nThe additional LeetCode accounts cover separate SDE-2, Uber Freight SWE III, and other engineering interviews. Their prompts are grouped by report to keep the role differences visible.
\nThe candidate listed four behavioral questions:
\nOne report asked how mkdir creates a directory and how ls retrieves directory contents. (LeetCode Uber Freight SWE III report) A separate Freight report names a URL-shortening API design prompt. (LeetCode Uber Freight SWE III report)
A six-round SDE-2 account mentions a graph problem that could be solved efficiently with disjoint-set union, a string-operations problem, and a question about handling feedback from senior colleagues. The source does not publish the full coding statements. (LeetCode Uber SDE-2 report)
\nAnother SDE-2 report names a graph problem similar to Number of Islands II, where nodes are added dynamically and connected components must be maintained. It also labels a separate round as API and data-structure design without giving a full prompt. (LeetCode Uber SDE-2 report)
\nA separate six-round account names these prompts:
\nAn Uber Shuttle screening account asked the candidate to design a class that simulates riders choosing seats and leaving them, then implement an UberShuttle class. (LeetCode Uber Shuttle report)
An L4 account mentions an API gateway and a location-tracking/ingestion service. The collected notes preserve the system components but not the complete interviewer wording, so this is recorded as a design topic. (LeetCode Uber L4 report)
\nThe candidate reported four questions in 70 minutes and remembered three. The fourth is not included because its prompt was not recalled. The 2025 report has the three remembered tasks.
