I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Zoox
Interview
A 45 minutes C++ technical interview. Asking me how a simplified question of how to do lane changing. I needed to write three functions, one to check if it is safe to change the lane, one to see which other vehicles need to be concerned, and the last one is to compute the most conservative control input to change the lane.
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.
