The interview process involved a coding challenge, a phone screen, an onsite interview, and a presentation.
HR's communication was inconsistent, with periods of ghosting, and was also pushy and unprofessional.
The onsite interview required a presentation, which HR emphasized should be state-of-the-art and as detailed as possible. This felt suspicious, raising concerns about intellectual property.
Some onsite interviewers were disrespectful and rude, asking uninspiring, easy technical questions but being extremely nit-picking.
I was rejected and dismissed in the middle of the onsite interview. HR stated, "they are too busy to waste time." Therefore, consider this carefully before applying.
Presentation: Auto-driving design question. ML questions. Easy C++ and Python coding.
