      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Motional

      Interview

      1. Recruiter screening - positive experience, professional attitude, follow ups; 2. Interview my the hiring scientist - positive experience, problem solving questions, personality questions, questions about goals and interests; 3. Coding interview with senior engineer - negative experience described below; The End.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Had positive experience up to the coding technical screening. Senior engineer had a very vague assignment with no defined questions, such as :" Find .... results should look like this example, do it my writing a function". During my coding technical interview I was given poorly formed questions, no clearly defined goals of what is needed, what is given, and most importantly no autonomy to even work on my own for the these poorly stated tasks. It is a red flag for me. I withdrew my application.
