Run away from this company as fast and as far as you can. This was the worst interview experience ever. The HR team is horrible, and the engineers who work here are monkeys with no real talent, who are in turn managed by a bunch of donkeys. I caught three highly experienced software engineers off guard and learned that they hadn't even pushed a single line of code despite working at the company for over a year.
There is no real innovation here, and the Waymo self-driving cars running on the streets are a great threat to the lives of pedestrians. Without a doubt, this company will go bankrupt within a year or two.
I applied online and received an email from the recruiter requesting experience. However, the recruiter didn't follow up for almost 10 months. Then, out of the blue, I received an email from the recruiter for phone screens (two of them). I cleared both and scheduled an onsite. But the recruiter ghosted heavily and never actually got back, despite my performing beyond the interviewers' expectations on all the onsite interviews.
Stupid questions that have no relation to the actual work.
