I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cox Automotive in Jun 2015
Interview
It was a Panel Interview . There were two Sr Developers and a Manager in the interview panel. and was mostly on Basic Java, object oriented analysis and design and , Design patterns, and my current project. I've had the pleasure of working on two different scrum teams within Cox Auto. I am very much blown away by the competence of my peers, the incredible company culture, and the opportunities for personal growth and development. I certainly feel like I've become a much more capable Software Engineer because of this work environment. I've had the pleasure of working on two different scrum teams within Cox Auto.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cox Automotive (Atlanta, GA) in Oct 2025
Interview
The process started with an initial phone call with the recruiter, followed by a short conversation with the hiring manager about the role and my background. After that, I was invited onsite to the Atlanta campus for a panel interview with three team members, two Principal Engineers and one Senior Software Engineer.
The onsite included two medium-level LeetCode-style coding questions. The interview itself went really well, and I was told afterward that I had passed and they intended to move forward. However, communication afterward was very slow. My original recruiters were laid off due to budget issues, and after waiting about 5.5 weeks with no updates, I called my new recruiter and was told they had decided to move forward with another candidate.
Overall, the interview experience was positive and the engineers were great, but the recruiting communication felt unorganized and stale, especially since updates only came after I reached out several weeks later.

Question 1
What was a time you took initiative to optimize a process/project workflow?
the interview consisted of one phone screen with the recruiter, and then 2 in person rounds. one technical and one behavioral. They were pretty basic questions. The technical included lots of OOP concepts.
