I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Waymo (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2021
Interview
There was a short 30 minutes recruiter round followed by a 45-minute technical interview.
The recruiter was very helpful and explained all the requirements well. The interviewer for the technical round was very friendly as well. It shows that they are looking for a co-worker. The interview consisted of some simple data and some simple real-life questions. You have to use your preferred coding language and try to structure the questions and find an answer from the data. It was a mixture of statistics, data interpretation and coding.
Be sure to communicate what you are thinking out loud and treat it like a discussion.
