Software Engineer - Controls Interview Experience - United States
Process
I was reached out to by a Nuro recruiter on LinkedIn and by email.
I had a 45-minute introductory call with the recruiter, and then scheduled a 45-minute live coding interview with one of their engineers.
It was a good experience overall. Everyone was helpful in answering my questions. The engineer conducting the live coding session was also very helpful, offering a few hints when I was unsure about the initial approach.
Eventually, I solved the problem and had some time left to answer a few C++ questions.
I actually felt pretty good after the interview, but I guess I didn't present exactly what they were looking for.
There were supposed to be another technical round and a culture-fit round for the rest of the process.
Questions
Use C++ to implement a math equation. It's more on your math knowledge rather than LC algo style.

The leadership is very transparent about the company's progress. The company also adopts new tools and new workflows very quickly, which means a lot of opportunities to learn and to apply the latest technologies in daily work.Cons: Not really a con, but just like most startups, the company is very sensitive to the macro environment and markets. The engineering team also needs to move quickly to support different business requests under resource constraints.
- 5.0Great engineering cultureSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeDecember 2, 2025Pros: Terrific engineering culture working on one of the hardest and most impactful engineering problems there is: driverless autonomous vehicles for mass deployment. Not much politics, streamlined decision making, and the ability to focus on solving problems with real scope and improving the system.Cons: Work on non-autonomy teams may not quite realize the same scope, culture, or impact as those working on the critical path, and as a result have a harder time identifying with the company's vision or mission.
