I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Hertz
Interview
Hertz now has a bunch of ex-Googlers who have brought their intense Google style to the interview process. They'll ask you some algorithms questions that feel really out of place given that the company's mainly making car reservation software.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked to write an algorithm to detect a completely connected graph and I was not permitted to run it in any interactive coding environments. Plus the interviewer interrupted a lot. Kind of rude overall.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hertz
Interview
Recruiter call just to make sure you and recruiter are on the same page, then hiring manager with some behavioral questions and a leetcode question, then two rounds of leetcode type questions and a system design question.

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Hertz (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2024
Interview
Applied online on August and got notified for an interview in early October. First set up a 15 min chat with the recruiter, I scheduled for a time but the guy did not show up. Rescheduled for the next week and the recruiter showed up and said he was on leave? Interview process contains 3 rounds: 2 technical (1 leetcode 1 team member) + 1 vibe check (with hiring manager).
First round interview was a 45 min Leetcode, medium linkedlist problem and was asked to write a unit testing function. Cleared this round and was told will hear back from them in a couple of days. It has been a week now and nothing happened. There is no way to contact anyone. Found the recruiter's email online and sent him message, still nothing. Everyone ghosting and utter waste of time. But from Glassdoor interview reviews, this seems to be no surprise.

Question 1
Suppose you got two linkedlist:
n1 -> n2 -> n3 ... -> n(k) and l1 -> l2 -> l3 -> l(m), reorder and get n1 -> l(m) -> n2 -> l(m-1). k and m might have different length, connect the remaining nodes to the end if run out. After implementation, write a simple unit testing function.
