Software Engineering Intern Interview Experience - United States
Process
1 HR call, followed by 3 technicals and then team matching.
The HR call is important because they test your technical skills. The 3 technicals include 2 coding and 1 system design.
This was followed by team matching, where I had 2 calls with managers before getting an offer.
Technical interviews are rigorous. They test both your coding skills and theoretical skills (short answers).
Questions are related to robotics use cases. The interviewees are extremely talented because Nuro hires a lot of PhDs, so be ready to have long discussions about certain topics.
Questions
Matrix transposition (couldn't find anything similar on LC), class design, DFS style questions.
