I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Zoox in Jan 2022
Interview
1. Coderpad - Easy object oriented coding question with an engineer
2. 5 session virtual onsite interview
It seems like Zoox mostly asks the same questions of all software candidates, so the majority of the questions are not role-specific and are leetcode style questions or riddles
Overall, my interviewers were courteous and helpful. The interview process favors candidates who are good at leetcode (but maybe not a good fit for the actual role)
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
Do a Google search of Zoox's interview questions. They adhere pretty closely to these questions
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.
