I have had a chance to be interviewed by Cruise for backend software engineer position. I got a call from HR recruiter and they send me a HackerRank online test which was easy and completed. Very next day, I received a call from HR for next round of telephonic interview. The interview was scheduled in the next week and the interviewer was added in the notes. It was changed just before 30 minutes of the interview which is ok to me. But when I received the call, I found some other person taking my interview.
The interview started with a normal way with an introduction and the coding question. The question was easy and had the flexibility to chose the preferred language. .Had to write a program and test with different input. In the end, while I asked about the project, the interviewer said, she is new and does not have knowledge about the backend. It is not a general software position and should have shared information of project/job.
