Waymo SWE - passed all rounds, then the sketch business started

sorry this happened. for what it's worth the data fluency round is the hardest to prep for. you got further than most

this is the waymo pattern for 2026. headcount has been on/off all year. nothing personal but the timing is brutal

the headcount freeze thing is unfortunately very real at waymo right now. they get you through the full process and then internal approvals kill it

"slight delay" from recruiter after an offer call no-show is a very bad sign. that almost never ends well

in hindsight yes. i kept giving benefit of the doubt because the team feedback was supposedly good
