Process
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.
Interviews included:
- Recruiters
- Manager
- Coding
- Domain knowledge
- System design
Interviews were on the easy side. They hired someone else though. The company is not very diverse, mostly white people. Their tech-stack is also not mature, very basic infrastructure; academic-ish. Based on comments in other forums & Reddit, it seems the company is making an acquisition play. Meaning they want to be bought by another company like Uber, General Motors, etc. Their main aim is to demo the autonomous vehicle capabilities on roads and get acquired. So, they are not really developing production ready code or long term infrastructure.

Wayve Work Experiences

- 5.0Great research companyMachine Learning Engineer • Current EmployeeLondon, EnglandOctober 23, 2023Pros: A fantastic research division working on generative AICons: Scaling the company from research into a viable product can be a struggle.
- 5.0Amazing Technology and Unmatched CultureSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeLondon, EnglandDecember 21, 2020Pros: At Wayve, I'm surrounded by the most consistently technically exceptional group of individuals that I've ever met. There is so much under one roof, from robotics, to platform engineering, to 3D simulation, and to deep learning; there's always an enlightening conversation to be had at the communal lunches. I don't think there's anywhere of which I could grow more as an engineer than Wayve. The passion exhibited by everyone at the company is infectious. The culture is overwhelmingly positive, welcoming, and fun; you’d be hard pressed to find a better work environment.Cons: Most find themselves at the office for longer than your typical 8h work day. If a clock in - clock out 9-5 is what you're after, Wayve probably isn't the right fit for you. As with most startups, things move fast and structure can be lacking. No refined sugars.
