SWE New Grad Interview Experience

Process

I applied online. The process took 2 months.

There were three coding interviews, each with one coding problem. I solved all the problems on time except for the last one, as I was only given 15 minutes. The rest of the time was spent by the interviewer asking behavioral questions. Later, I was rejected because of this.

I also received an email asking for my preferred work location, but a couple of days later I received a rejection. When I inquired about this, I was told that the email had been sent by mistake. This was highly unprofessional for such a large company.
