I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Zoox (San Francisco, CA) in May 2022
Interview
Recruited contacted me saying how perfect I am for the role and setup a technical interview.
Interviewer didn't bother to ask anything related to my resume and experience. He started out asking questions about how Python is different from other languages. And how Python is a dynamic language, what multithreading is and more basic OOPS concepts.
Basically you can answer these basic questions by Googling them. These things you learn in CS 101 and not to be asked for a Senior Engineer. Interviewer was cold and unhelpful throughout.
He gave a coding exercise and kept suggesting to use more OOPS concepts rather than making the code work.

Recruiter call to go over resume and position, tech screen (coding challenge), onsite with four rounds (coding challenge, system design, math and problem solving (MAPS), and one with team manager), leadership call.
interviewed at zoox for software engineer. had their famous brain teaser, a c++ round, 1 domain problem solving and 1 hiring manager. the hiring manager apparently has no interest and was unprofessional. The feedback from him is an unfinished sentence, according to my recruiter. Others are ok.
It was a live coding screening. It lasted an hour. It was a planning problem involving a lane change maneuver given other vehicles on road. There wasn’t much dialogue, just coding.
