Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 6 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Turo (San Francisco, CA) en ago 2025
Entrevista
- Directory + Manager: Meet with two great people, and we talked about the company, my experience, and future projects at Turo.
- Take-home Project: Pretty straightforward, consuming the Yelp API and showing the results for a particular call.
- Go over the take-home project: Meet with 3 other engineers, and we talked about the strengths of my project, my choice of tech stack, and all trade-offs I took given the time I was given to finish such project. We also talked about refactoring a few pieces here and there, and how to do so.
- API Design / Data Modeling (System Design): We went through a 3-step prompt, building on top of each of the previous steps to design an API that could be consumed for a particular goal-screen.
- Engineering Hiring Manager: Meet with the same manager from the 1st interview, given that the actual hiring manager was in parental leave.
- Engineering Hiring Manager v2: Final interview with the actual team's hiring manager (once he got back from parental leave a few days later), who further explained some of the projects that they usually take upon, on what kind of work I would be doing.

My favorite question was: What are you building/working on outside interviewing or Turo?
Unprofessional as I haven't heard from them after the interview. I had made time for an entire day to write an Android app for the interview. There was also a call prior to the interview with a director.

Turo follows pretty standard interview process, it was very well put together, the process consisted of an
HR sync up, followed by phone screen then virtual-onsite. the focus areas were system design and coding.

1. asked to code the solution to a coding problem in about an hours, the problem was solvable in an hour, even if you hadn't seen it before.
2. system design which is API, backend + functionality deep dive. this interview is spread across 3 different interviews so there is a fair bit of detail that has to be discussed here.
