Process
There were mainly 3 sessions about the interview.
The first part was meeting the HR and having a campus tour in their headquarters. HR is very nice and friendly.
The second part was meeting one of the senior engineers and having some academic questions, mainly about algorithms. The interviewer kept asking questions until the end of the time slot.
The third part was meeting the group leader from the department that I was interested in.
Questions
There are many of them and I can only remember some of them.
Q1: There are 100 numbers, from 1 to 100 each (like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...). Now, one of them is lost. How to find an algorithm to figure out the missing number with the lowest complexity.
Q2: Same situation, but now two of them are missed.
Q3: There are two rectangles for which you know the vector position of their vertex. Design an algorithm to find the area overlapped between these two rectangles.
Q4: If you have two eggs, and there is a building of 100 floors. You want to know from which floor above the eggs dropped will break. Please design a method to minimize the times you have to test at least.
Q5: What about x floors?

Wayve Work Experiences
- 4.0Great culture but disjointed organization and communicationRobotics Engineer • Current EmployeeLondon, EnglandSeptember 18, 2026Pros: A very real chance to ship physical AI products; and a great culture.Cons: Disjointed orgs, unclear communication, and lots of small silos
- 5.0Lots of interesting challenges and a fun place to workSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeLondon, EnglandMay 31, 2022Pros: The problems that Wayve faces and solves are the kind of problems that got me into computer science in the first place. Deep learning, big data, scalability, robotics - I've not come across another company that's solving such a wide array of interesting things with such a small group of people. On top of that, Wayve is a super fun place to work, full of smart and friendly people where there is (genuinely) never a dull moment. We're growing extremely quickly, and there's a real sense that we're on to something and making it happen.Cons: For me, nothing. It is definitely one of those cult startups where everyone loves what they are doing and things change rapidly, which might not be for everybody.
