The HR screening call made it seem like they weren't that interested in hiring me, but they still set up the interview. After that, they scheduled the interview, but the interviewer didn't show up, so we had to reschedule for the following week. When the rescheduled interview finally happened, only one person from TuSimple showed up and began the interview. It felt like they were aiming for me to fail, not the other way around.

The entire interview process lasted approximately one month. I interacted with Jeff and Dustin, who were very pleasant and helpful throughout. There were three distinct interviews for the Voice Operations role. The first was a coding interview conducted by a Software Engineer. The second focused on my previous experiences and projects. Finally, the third interview was with the hiring manager, where we discussed machine learning and deep learning concepts pertinent to their work.

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.
