I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Wayve (Leonberg, Baden-Wurttemberg) in Jan 2026
Interview
Impressive experience and highly flexible hiring process:
I recently went through the recruitment process at Wayve, which included 6 interviews and a full afternoon at the office.
Pros: The HR team does an outstanding job guiding me through the interviews and actively seeking my feedback. A personal highlight was the opportunity to take a ride in the prototype vehicle—the technology is truly impressive.
What stood out most was the company's flexibility: When it became clear that the initial role wasn't the perfect fit for me, Wayve was agile enough to identify a different position that aligned much better with my profile. This level of adaptability is rare and speaks for their culture.
Cons/Advice: The transition to the new role happened towards the very end of the process. While the outcome was great, identifying this fit a bit earlier would have made the initial conversations even more focused.
Overall, a very positive experience that shows how quickly the company can adapt to find the best setup for both sides.
