I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Zoox in Oct 2019
Interview
Brief phone screen with a recruiter. Was then sent a coding test. Had studied primarily graph traversal and path planning so was only able to complete 5 out of the 7 questions
Interview questions [6]
Question 1
Write a function to calculate the stopping distance given a deceleration rate and velocity.
Given a velocity, write a function to determine the minimum distance required from a car traveling at another given velocity to maintain a 2 second follow time.
Gave a C++ interview where you will be coding during a zoom meeting. The first part of the interview was c++ trivia where they asked about concepts like polymorphism, pointers etc. The coding part will go great if you are familiar with object oriented programming.
recruiter asked about background,
motion planning round was a lane changing problem which was cpp data structure heavy. I could only get through one scenario and was not called back.
The overall experience was positive, despite the lengthy process of four technical interview rounds over nearly two months. An encouraging aspect was the HR's detailed discussion of the team's feedback with the candidate.
