Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The process was a normal loop of a few coding rounds and one behavioral round. There were a couple of calls with one hiring manager. It resulted in a lowball offer that I rejected. The interview experience and the recruiter were pleasant. I wish Google started candidates leveled fairly and paying more.
