I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cruise (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2018
Interview
Good interview process, quick feedback. Overall good interview process at least they didn't ask stupid hacker-rank based interview! Most interviewers were decent, except one interviewer had attitude that I started using Kotlin even before Google made it official, big deal!!
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
During phone interview process they provided JSON data and asked how would you display that data in a recyclerview.
During onsite interview process they asked to build logger, implementation of Glide using builder pattern. I fumbled on that builder pattern on that particular day so they rejected, which is fine.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Cruise (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
The interview process consisted of an initial recruiter screen followed by a technical phone interview focused on data structures and problem-solving in Python. The onsite loop included 4 rounds: one coding round (medium LeetCode-style problem), one system design round focused on building a scalable ML data processing pipeline, one backend/API design round, and one behavioral round. Interviewers emphasized real-world problem solving, tradeoffs, and communication. Overall, the process was structured and aligned with large-scale distributed systems and ML infrastructure.

Question 1
generic questions, nothing to really test what I knew. The interviewers seemed to not know how to interview a candidate and what to look for. I didn't want to work there after what i saw.
