J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Aurora Innovation (Mountain View, CA) en mai 2025
Entretien
I had a call with the recruiter, then a technical discussion with the hiring manager. There was no coding involved, we just discussed my experience. Then I had a technical round (Data Structures/Algorithms style coding question), it wasn't too hard. Then I had four rounds of virtual onsite: the first was a behavioral interview with the hiring manager, the second was a technical interview where we discussed snippets of Python code, the third was systems design, and the last one was a Leetcode-style question in JavaScript. They told me the main goal of the coding interviews are to have a productive discussion about the code, that is more important than solving the problem. Overall the interview questions were not hard at all.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
What is one project you are proud of? What is one experience you had that didn't go very well?

Process was recruiter screen → 60 min C++ technical interview.
The recruiter screen was mostly background discussion and role fit. They were specifically interested in experience with computer vision, calibration, sensor systems, and C++.
The technical round focused heavily on C++ fundamentals rather than LeetCode-style trick questions. Topics included pointers/references, stack vs heap allocation, memory management, STL usage, debugging thought process.

It was a very straightforward process which involved classic technical conversation/questions, system design, and a coding section. Overall, the folks I talked to seemed smart and capable and the questions were valid for the role. I applied online, interviewed with their recruiter very shortly after and the rest of the interviews played out pretty quickly after. There was a bit of disorganization about how the process was unfolding on their end but we figured it out.

Question 1
Signed an NDA so I can't share specifics but there was system design and coding.

Recruiter screen, then coding screen on coderpad.io. Couldn't solve their dsa question in time in 45 minutes, so no offer. If I had focused and done all the problems in the Neetcode 150, I would've passed, so this is my fault.
