Engineering Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
Don't bother reading these questions.
It won't help. Google's interviews are set up such that the questions either have impossible answers, or the problems are changed so much that looking them up won't matter.
You just have to have very solid computer science fundamentals and show enthusiasm.
For such a large company, the interview process feels so ad hoc that it almost deterred me from accepting an offer. I ended up accepting, but I'm hoping the interview process will be improved so others won't make a decision the other way.
