Process
HR phone screen.
The recruiter was friendly and courteous, but most of the time was spent with me being confused by the repeated and generic question, "How much do you know about Waymo?" rephrased in different ways.
The recruiter did not introduce the company much from their side, nor was it clear what the interview was looking for.
The interview ended with both of us confused by the communication.
