I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Zoox
Interview
The interviewer didn't introduce much about himself/herself but directly asked several C++ questions in the first 15 minutes. The interview style is not very communicative but simply like a test. The interviewer asked a question, waiting for the answer then said, next question. The C++ questions are not hard. Then, the interviewer asked a system design question and asked to write the program in C++. The program must be compiled and runnable as the interviewer already gave me the input format and output format.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
10 C++ knowledge questions and a system design question that has to be coded in C++ and must be functional.
Recruiter call to go over resume and position, tech screen (coding challenge), onsite with four rounds (coding challenge, system design, math and problem solving (MAPS), and one with team manager), leadership call.
interviewed at zoox for software engineer. had their famous brain teaser, a c++ round, 1 domain problem solving and 1 hiring manager. the hiring manager apparently has no interest and was unprofessional. The feedback from him is an unfinished sentence, according to my recruiter. Others are ok.
It was a live coding screening. It lasted an hour. It was a planning problem involving a lane change maneuver given other vehicles on road. There wasn’t much dialogue, just coding.
