Process
The interview was conducted in several separate sections.
I interviewed with engineers, PMs, and the founders of the company.
I reviewed some negative reviews on Glassdoor before my interview, and I was a bit apprehensive at the start. However, my interview experience at Nuro was completely different. Everyone I met was really nice, and the interview process ran smoothly.
The interview was challenging, but I had ample interaction with the interviewers, and we were able to discuss the questions in a constructive manner.
I have interviewed with both large companies (FAANG) and several unicorn companies while exploring opportunities, and Nuro is genuinely one of the companies with the best interview experience.
Questions
Some challenging coding questions, and a bit of design.
