I have a waymo interview coming up. Is the interview process language and team agnostic like Google? Or do individual teams hire you. #google #waymo #waymointerview

      My team has really great boundaries around wlb. Solving the SDC problem is a long term play and not burning out is essential in it. Plus it makes life so much better when you have wlb. Overall, its on each individual to disconnect from work though and it’s harder to do during covid when there’s literally nothing else to do

      @mTBd18 is it fair to expect Google like interview or less rigorous? I mean dynamic programming or leetcode mediums or domain specific - therefore, luck of the draw types?

    Language agnostic like Google unless job explicitly stated C++ etc.

    OP I asked this to a recruiter who contacted and they mentioned this team was ideally looking for C++ devs. So I'm guessing it's not purely algorithmic (which are Lang agnostic). Haven't scheduled mine yet but one of reqs they considered was for "controls" and I have zero experience in that. So, no idea why.

    If you're testing the waters how prepared do you feel? How many leetcodes so far? Or are you planning to prep via scapegoats like Waymo? Also, years in FB?

    Depends on team. In most cases C++ is your passport.

    Individual teams hire you from what I've seen.

    BTW, when I interviewed at Google years ago, it was NOT language agnostic. But when I interview folks for Waymo roles I am fine with them using a language of their choice.
