Applied has extremely talented and friendly engineers who are all highly driven by what they work on. It's great to be in person and get to learn and collaborate with such motivated and smart people. I've learned so much about the automotive industry and engineering practices.
Applied requires you to have or develop really good time management and prioritization skills. Since the business and the tech move so quickly, you can feel overwhelmed by the amount of work that you're trying to take on. You learn quickly that this doesn't necessarily mean that you have to be doing everything all the time, but rather that you have to be able to make quick prioritization decisions off the cuff and manage your own time.
Recruiter phone call, initial interview (which was a technical screen), then the final round of 4 onsite interviews (3 technical, 1 behavioral). Then, had multiple calls with different teams during the offer process.
Medium level difficulty focused on the day-to-day products they build. Seems like a very work-intensive organization. The people were very friendly, but I suspect a little bit of Stockholm syndrome love for their overworking employer.
1 online tech round. Virtual onsite: 3 tech rounds + 1 hiring manager round. The coding questions are difficult. If you passed, it moved super fast, and you could ask for feedback when being rejected.
