Got rejected by Waymo after the data fluency round wrecked me

Damn sorry to hear. What kind of question did they give you exactly, was it comparing metrics across two model versions?
Yeah basically, comparing conversion or accuracy between two setups with no context on what the metric even meant. Just had to guess and reason out loud.
Their online reputation being easy is such a trap, data fluency alone should update that.
Rough, their loop sounds more brutal than people give it credit for. Good luck next time.
Data fluency is brutal, I had the same experience with AV progress metrics and just made stuff up on the spot. No idea how you're supposed to prep for it.
Can confirm from inside, even we don't have a clean rubric for grading that round lol. It's mostly vibes.
The graph heavy coding rounds threw me too honestly, felt like every round had a BFS in it somewhere.
