I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cruise in Dec 2017
Interview
Process started with a simple phone screen, recruiter asked a few behavioral questions and then went on to explain a little bit more about the company.
I was then sent a hackerrank challenge with five questions. I believe you need to answer all of them correctly(not sure if you need to get every test case correct though) to move on to the next round.
After I completed the hackerrank i moved on to the phone technical interview. I had two questions were I had to write functions that completed the tasks asked of me by the interviewer. The questions weren't to hard but the solution for the second question completely escaped my head so I didnt move on to the next round because of that I believe.
