How are Waymo interviews different from Google?

I'm interviewing at Waymo soon (for software engineering). I heard it's a bit different from Google, but I don't understand how. Should I expect leetcode problems? Should I review things like memory management (generally not covered on leetcode) or multithreading? What should I expect from the interview in general, in comparison to the standard Google SWE interview? How do they differ?

I was told by a middle man (not official wayno recruiter) to not mention Google as such. Apparently every company under Alphabet competes with each other so don’t google this and google that. They are their own thing and want to be recognized as their own.

Alphabet is just a holding company.
