I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Zoox (Foster City, CA) in Sep 2022
Interview
Long and lengthy with take home assignments, multiple phone interviews. Then there's an on-site with a presentation and a math and logic round, all of which may go well but they may still reject you after making you wait for weeks, and without any real feedback despite all the effort you put in.
* Recruiter screen
* Give a presentation on past work
* Describe a problem or conflict in past work
* Coding a basic data structure
* State machines for electromechanical systems
* Analysis of numerical and cognitive problems
* Embedded software architecture for example systems
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Design state machines for electromechanical systems.
The interview process is not bad, however it would be a good idea to come prepared for long feedback cycles between interview steps. It may take months after you apply to hear back for the first time.

Question 1
Generic python knowledge and programming exercise related to object oriented programming.
A few rounds: some algorithms problems, some general problem solving math puzzles, and then a behavioral round, a talk with a hiring manager, then a talk with a director. Not too bad overall

Question 1
Array processing algorithm question, with followup to make it more challenging.
