Zoox Seniot Software Engineer interview questions

Zoox recruiter reached out via LinkedIn. On the call, the recruiter explained that the role is new and they don’t know much about the day-to-day duties. The questions on the first technical interview were irrelevant to the domain of the role. During the interview, the interviewer demonstrated low interest in interviewing me, he didn’t hear me, and I followed up with him multiple times to attract his attention. OOP patterns sounded like something new to the interviewer. I solved the task to get described result, but the company rejected my candidacy. I followed up with the recruiter to get feedback, but the recruiter ignored my email.

Pretty standard process. Tech screen followed by on site. On site consists of an interesting component that basically has you doing some math exercises. It wasn't terrible. The issue is that they make it seem like in order to work there you need to be super into the industry and just eat, sleep, breathe zoox. If their Kool aid doesn't run through your veins, don't bother applying. Everything will be positive and then all of the sudden they'll reject you and ghost you. Not worth the time and effort
