Great mid-size startup with a healthy culture
Great mid-size startup with a healthy culture
Nuro has been a fantastic company to work for. This is my first startup experience after moving from a large tech company, and I've been impressed with the maturity of leadership's decision-making and the incredible balance of quality of life with extremely talented, motivated people. This is even true for hardware development, for which JZ and Dave bring excellent judgment and sufficient humility, despite their backgrounds in software development—fairly rare around Silicon Valley.
As with any startup, your mileage may vary. Some might struggle at first with the relative freedom and lack of rigid hierarchy, and the flexible hours and dynamism that might demand a 10-hour workday once in a while.
Additionally, your personal financial situation may not allow you to accept the risk inherent to equity, although pay and benefits alone tend to be highly competitive with even established non-startup companies.
I'd say that each of these downsides are pretty typical for any tech startup in the Valley, and probably better here than most.

System Integration Engineer
The process began with an initial phone call with the recruiter. Following that, the virtual interview with the hiring manager was more technical, focusing on applying basic concepts to real-world problem-solving scenarios.
Software Engineer
Multiple coding, past project, and ML rounds were part of the interview. The ML rounds focused mostly on basic ML questions and intuitions. Coding questions were not LeetCode-style questions. Past project rounds involved diving into one project
