I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Motional in Jul 2021
Interview
First reached out to by 2 separate recruiters who after saying they'd set up interviews never got back to me. A third recruiter finally set up an interview. Screening was straight forward.
Next was a timed programming eval over a call with an engineer. Honestly, was a total mess. The question wasn't hard but it wasn't not written down. The question asker wasn't able to properly describe what the goal was. I ended up solving it twice where both times I missed things I didn't even realize were part of the task. So I didn't even fully understand the question until I had little time left and wasn't able to complete the task because doing so would require a total restart of what I had already done. He also never told me I was just doing the complete wrong thing until after despite me telling him my full thought process throughout. They decided not to pursue further interview after that. Was incredibly frustrating and could have been easily solved with a written prompt!

Question 1
Hard to even describe because the evaluator kept leaving things out. When I said I wasn't familiar with the game he was trying to describe as a basis for the question just kind of rambled.
I applied online. I interviewed at Motional (Singapore)
Interview
Had a positive HR screen where recruiter went over the role and responsibilities. We talked a bit about my background and my interest in Motional as a company. After the screen, the recruiter told me that he would check with the Hiring Manager if they were interested and that they would get back to me in 1-2 weeks.

1. What do you know about motional?
2. What do you do at your current job and how does it match the role's requirements
The interview process consisted of an HR screen followed by a technical live coding interview. I didn't pass this stage, as this was the hardest question I've received in my career by a good bit.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Motional (Boston, MA)
Interview
I applied online. The recuiter reached out to ne via email for a time to chat about the process. First round was setup which was a coding interview on codepad. String related question. The interviewer was adamant of using his method and was continuously saying tell me ur approach even though, I was continuously telling him after each line of code I wrote what I am thinking. After interview I looked for the question online and he strictly wanted that solution. It felt like. I have conducted several interviews myself and If a company asks u to code infront of them, its just means the team is managed at micro level and nothing can be done, which can be seen in their progress of the product.
