I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cruise in Mar 2018
Interview
Phone chat with the recruiter and then a technical phone screen.
The interviewer on the technical phone screen was not able to explain the problem well. It took a lot of time to understand the problem, and once understood, I was able to program it. The shared code editor didn't have the problem already there. The problem used wasn't something that was ideal for a phone screen. They still rejected after a week's wait. Seemed pretty unprofessional and unpreparedness on the interviewer.

The process was smooth, 6 rounds of process. Behavioral, debugging, coding, hiring manager, system design, process was fast, different teams interviewing you, difficult questions, however people were nice. 3 different offices located in sf and sunnyvale
They did a brief discussion about my experience and resume and asked a hard leetcode problem. The problem was solved almost optimally, but some issues with edge cases, however they pushed for a wierd implementation to solve it. Ended up cancelling the job posting cause someone acccepted it jsut 2 days after. Why interview then??
Applied online with my resume, heard back af ew weeks later. Then I received an invite for an initial 45-minute technical screen. A day later, I passed the interview and after that, I moved on to the final round of interviews which consisted of 45-minute technical and 45-minute behavioural.
