I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Zoox (Foster City, CA)
Interview
Recruiter was amazing and responsive. Phone screen was a lightning round of C++ and OOP trivia questions followed by a OOP design question. I messed up my string implementation and couldn't get a working solution in time. Recruiter was super responsive in giving me feedback.
Recruiter call to go over resume and position, tech screen (coding challenge), onsite with four rounds (coding challenge, system design, math and problem solving (MAPS), and one with team manager), leadership call.
interviewed at zoox for software engineer. had their famous brain teaser, a c++ round, 1 domain problem solving and 1 hiring manager. the hiring manager apparently has no interest and was unprofessional. The feedback from him is an unfinished sentence, according to my recruiter. Others are ok.
It was a live coding screening. It lasted an hour. It was a planning problem involving a lane change maneuver given other vehicles on road. There wasn’t much dialogue, just coding.
