Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
The question was a little difficult for me, but I just kept going at it. In the middle, the interviewer lost interest and started yawning loudly. I felt it was unprofessional, and that's the least you should do in an interview when the candidate is already struggling.
Anyhow, it looks like the hiring bar is high. Unless you are a pro at solving LeetCode medium/hard questions, it's going to be embarrassing.
Nuro: I think it's better to put an online assessment with hard questions to filter the candidates and avoid wasting your time and theirs.
Questions
LeetCode difficulty level. Related to arrays and finding a window with respect to their domain.

- 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.
