I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Turo (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2021
Interview
Initial tech screen for about an hour.
Full interview loop:
- Architecture
- Problem solving (coding)
- API design
- Product management related
- Behavioral
- Interview with engineering lead (VP or Director)
- Architecture: General distributed systems components and when to choose which
- Problem solving (coding): Mix of coding question and SQL queries
- API design: all about API design. Free to choose anything like JSON, XML according to your liking and mention in detail about request and response with URL, request method + body and response body + status codes
- Product management: Generally with product managers. How to think with ambiguous situations and strategize the solutions.
- Behavioral: Tell me about a time...
- With engineering leader: This will be very important. Be yourself and don't fake anything. You will do good.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Turo (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
comprehensive, yet understanding. covers lots of areas of a software engineer like system design, api design, algorithms, behavorial, etc. it was good to have different opportunities to show my skills.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Turo in Sep 2024
Interview
Recruiter reached out and sent a coding challenge. Composed of 5 coding questions you have to answer in 1:15 hr. 3 were simple and 2 were leetcode hard and not doable for the time given. Not worth the time and effort because the questions they provide need more time. I rather go to FAANG.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Turo (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2023
Interview
Very easy going. The process was a chat with a recruiter, a phone screen, and then a virtual onsite that was standard (included system design, another coding round, API design, and a behavioral interview). Team was extremely nice, but did not proceed due to low compensation and level did not fit correctly.

Question 1
Phone screen was a common LC medium problem related to intervals.
