Application Software Engineer Interview Experience
Process
I applied online. The process took four weeks.
The process had multiple rounds, including lots of behavioral and coding over multiple rounds. Something unique was being tested about autonomous driving knowledge with learning materials provided in advance. There was a technical round where I was supposed to code in one language but was not prepared for it. We switched to a different language, and I passed this round. They really asked me about why this company and why this role. In the end, they told me they saw me more as a pure SWE than an Application SWE. During the process, the recruiter was very communicative and scheduled check-ups with feedbacks between rounds.

Applied Intuition Work Experiences
- 1.0Poor culture and no regard for basic decencySenior Software Engineer • Former EmployeeMountain View, CAMarch 20, 2026Pros: Go to this company if you have no other job offer.Cons: This company disregards basic human decency in its work culture, and it is worse than Amazon because it tries to sell you a dream that will not be realized, while at the same time being probably more toxic than Amazon.
- 5.0Hard work that has paid dividendsSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeApril 12, 2024Pros: Learned an immense amount here, from core engineering to working with customers to seeing how a profitable, high-growth business is run. The people are amazing – made a lot of great friends along the way. The company has done exceptionally well.Cons: It is hard work and, at times, it can be tough. There are highs and lows.
- 1.0If you have to work here, ask these questions to your potential managerSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeMarch 5, 2025Pros: Most colleagues are hardworking, humble, and helpful people. They make the extremely bad work-life balance, low pay, and brainwash-style company culture slightly better.Cons: Incompetent and inconsistent middle management. They recently hired some experienced managers who are great, but there are certain managers with extremely high attrition. I’ve observed whole teams of engineers leaving in under a year due to bad management, and they’ve done nothing to improve. To avoid having to work with bad managers, please make sure you ask: * “Are there any engineers that have worked on your team for more than 1 year? I would like to talk to them.” * Check their LinkedIn. If they’ve never been a manager before and their team has high attrition, they are most likely a bad manager.
