I seriously doubt you are "blacklisted" or anything similar. You've only failed 3 final round interviews, which doesn't strike me as an uncommonly large number. Can you elaborate on whether it is technical or behavioral

I don't agree. I just watched a talk from Gates in 2008: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsonKu4STzM I thought it was totally wild how much he predicted correctly, e.g. personalized ads, big data analytics, internet of

Except, is ATG equity actually worth real money? Seems to me this is a clear attempt to get ATG off the books (16% of net loss in Q3 was due to ATG https://investor.uber.com/news-events/news/press-release-det... ).

Thanks for posting this. I had the same reaction. I think making this distinction ends up muddling what an author means when they refer to RPC and ends up overloading the term.

Good point! I ran into this case studying for interviews a while ago. The "maximum subarray problem"[1] is a common interview question, you are generally expected to be able to come up with the O(n) solution. Well has a great pass

Does anyone have insight into what the opposing lawyers are trying to get at by asking about the $120M bonus? It feels like they are establishing Levandowski's importance to Waymo maybe? But it isn't clear to me how/if this h
