Interview
The recruiter did a good job setting everything up.
The interview format was
1. Presentation. Tell the interviewers about some cool problem that you worked on and solved
2. A bunch of technical questions and coding exercises.
3. Some non technical/personality questions at the end.
The questions were fair. I thought that I did fairly well, but no offer. I requested feedback, but didn't get any. Total radio silence after a rejection email.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Several straight forward coding exercises, and a few specific domain knowledge questions
Boston Dynamics doesn't do straightforward technical interviews (with a coding aspect) instead focusing on overall technical knowledge and problem solving. After hearing back from a recruiter, I did one behavioral interview and one technical interview before declining the position.
