I applied online. I interviewed at Zoox in Mar 2026
Interview
This was for an internship. After the recruiter call, an interview was scheduled. Asked C++ object-oriented concepts followed by a custom problem. They were essentially looking for how comfortable I was with C++.
The process was very smooth. It began with an Online Assessment (OA), followed by a recruiter screen. Next was a technical round focused on Python and OOP principles. The final stage consisted of two back-to-back interviews: one with the hiring manager and a second technical coding session.
