J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. J'ai passé un entretien chez Waymo
Entretien
A simple algorithm question was asked. But the interviewer asked it in such difficult way that I couldn't quite understand the problem and didn't know exactly what he wanted. I guess the point was to hire someone from his own ethnic background by failing others.

Question 1
After I understood what he was asking: "You are given an array of colors, and a string. Each letter must be different color."

Totally a mess. Attended a recruiter screen call and received the invitation the same day. But the next round with the hiring manager was scheduled for two weeks later (although I tried to schedule it ASAP)! The hiring manager delayed the interview by one day without any clear reason, but the recruiter insisted that there were 2 headcounts available. Even the rejection was delayed to the following week.

Started with recruiter call. First round is a programming interview mainly focused on dynamic programming. solved the question but still got rejected. I interviewed for simulation team - scenario creation.
The interview is back to back 2 rounds, including general coding questions and ML related questions. The interviewers are nice and will give enough time to prepare. Follow their guidance is important.
