Can You Solve This Uber Scheduling Interview Question?
Can you solve a scheduling algorithm problem used in real Uber coding interviews? In this full-length mock coding interview, Rahman — a software engineer at Uber — walks through the Time Planner problem: given two people's availability slots and a meeting duration, find the earliest window where both can meet.
This unedited coding interview covers the complete problem-solving arc from clarifying questions through brute force ideation to an optimized two-pointer solution. You'll see how to identify interval overlaps using max-of-starts and min-of-ends, handle edge cases like empty slots and exact-fit durations, and simplify your code by removing redundant conditional branches. The solution runs in O(n + m) time with O(1) space — exactly what a real interviewer expects.
