I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at TuSimple in Jul 2020
Interview
The hiring process is very unprofessional, and you will feel very disappointing if you don't have an offer at hand.
OA, initial phone screen, then 1-hour interview with the recruiting manager. I asked how long is the entire hiring process, and he said it's 3 weeks in total. After that, I was completely ignored, with no word on next steps or even their decision not to move forward. I thought it's a rejection.
But after 4 weeks, the recruiter reached me to schedule the second round of interview. They gave me a HackerRank link without any instruction on how to use it. I spent 10 mins to establish video call with the engineer. The 1 on 1 coding interview was very easy. I finished 3 coding questions in 40 mins, and there's still time left. The interviewer was nice, and we discussed some background about the company and their projects. Everything goes fine and I performed well. However, I got rejected the next day.
The interview experience was terrible. It takes long time and I am not clear what kind of people they really want. Maybe they have too many candidates at this moment, and therefore do not respect people. Maybe they have already made a decision before interviewing me. The good thing is, I got offer from FAANG. Their hiring process is much much much better than this company.
I'd like to offer my congratulations on your offer with a FAANG company.
I'm regretful that myself or someone on the recruiting team explained that our interview process takes three weeks.
Interview times vary from situation to situation and we should have been more clear. I'm terribly sorry you had a bad experience and that we didn't meet your standards or able to offer you employment.
Good luck with the FAANG company.
