Aurora Innovation Software Engineer 60 to 90 minute Python CoderPad

My interview process had five steps in a clear order, so the timeline was easy to follow. It began with an online Python CoderPad homework assignment that took about 60 to 90 minutes. After that, I had a 30-minute hiring manager interview.

Next came a short prep call with the recruiter, followed by a two-hour virtual interview. The final step was the offer decision, and it didn't go my way.

What I remember most was how clearly each stage was organized around its own checkpoint. Even though I didn't get an offer, the process felt coherent from start to finish, and that structure reduced a lot of uncertainty while I waited.

Location: United States. Overall feedback: Positive. Offer status: No offer.
