About the Uber Software Engineer hiring loop

Uber's system design is the headline round — real-time location services, surge pricing, dispatch algorithms. Coding rounds are LeetCode-medium. Behavioural rounds anchor on the "Uber values" (refreshed in 2022) — Customer Obsession, Build with Heart, Stand for Safety.

Coding rounds are scored on correctness, clarity, complexity statement, edge-case enumeration, and testability. System design is scored on scale anchoring, API definition quality, data-model trade-offs, and failure-mode reasoning.
