I interviewed for Motion Planning engineer at both. Both has 1 phone interview round, leetcode question. Then onsite. Waymo interview is very Google-like. There was brief discussion of experiences, but I don't think they even evaluate those. Pretty much 5 leetcode questions, but many were on graph and tree, which might have been specializing for planning? Cruise had one or two round of leetcode, one round of code review/coding knowledge, one round on robotic knowledge (which wasn't specific to the role I was interviewing) and one behavior round.

Thank you so much for the information. So it is more leetcode question than robotics? What about root locus and PID and LQR control theory? They don’t care? Thanks again!
