Perception Engineer Interview Experience - South San Francisco, California
Process
I applied through an employee referral. The process took four weeks.
It was a fairly long process with several steps:
- Several remote (lightly) technical interviews
- Take-home coding challenge
- Onsite interview day with several high-level design questions
Nothing was too stressful, and there were nice opportunities to meet the team.
Questions
During the video interviews, there were mostly resume-based technical questions. There was nothing out of the blue.
Was this helpful?
