I applied online. I interviewed at Nuro (Mountain View, CA) in Mar 2026
Interview
Applied online, got a tech screen. Tech screen was hard as they asked 3 things in an hour,
1) some Bash scripting debugging, who does this in 2026??
2) lc medium
3) random system deep dives
The interviewer was inexperienced and was a little arrogant. You could tell they had no mentoring or leadership experience and not sure why they would conduct the initial tech screen. This is not how modern tech screens should be conducted.

Was nice, having 3 coding rounds and one system design and one bq round. The recruiter responded quickly for each stage. The whole process took about 1 month. Although I decided not to take the offer, still feel good about the opportunity
Did not try to understand my background or past experience at all, just jumped to asking the technical question. Very common style these days, very impersonal. But interviewing manager did try to be helpful in the interview.
