Process

A recruiter found my LinkedIn profile and reached out to me. After an informational interview with the recruiter, they scheduled an onsite interview directly. I was asked several coding and search engine questions. The interview was at the Cupertino campus, and a total of four interviewers showed up.

They are looking for a software engineer to work on search-related projects. Machine learning technology is preferred but not necessary. All interviewers were nice and helpful. Overall, it was a very good experience.
