I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Zoox (Foster City, CA) in Oct 2024
Interview
I received a coding test from the recruiter.. It was a take-home type test. There was no definite deadline given to me by the recruiter, so I submitted the test one week after receiving it. The test was in Python. The recruiter said this test submission will be forwarded to the hiring team. I received a rejection email from the recruiter 3 days after submitting this test stating no specific reason other than that I did not pass this time, and they have moved on to other candidates that better suit their needs.
