Machine Learning Engineer at Waymo

The candidate applied directly through Waymo's website and followed a process similar to Google's. The interview loop included an initial recruiter call, a challenging coding screen, and a final round with multiple components: a coding interview, an ML coding interview, an ML system design interview, and two behavioral interviews. The candidate noted the high bar for coding skills, comparable to a Software Engineer role, in addition to expected ML expertise. The behavioral interviews also delved deeply into the candidate's past projects.
