      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cruise (South San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2018

      Interview

      Overall was a positive and efficient interview. The recruiter was in constant communication and flexible about the interview date. I met with all relevant staff members, from future reports to peer managers across the organization and other departments. All interviews were engaging, with challenging questions and good discussions. In particular the cross-org engagement was better than other companies I interviewed at.
