Software Engineer Interview Experience - Los Angeles, California
Process
First, I applied online on Google's career website.
About a week later, I received an online assessment email. I completed it within one hour; I solved the first problem but did not have enough time to finish the second.
A week after that, I had a phone interview, which involved coding algorithms on LeetCode. Since I did not perform well in the phone interview, I was declined one week later.
Questions
OA: 2 problems using your favorite programming languages (bit manipulation, tree problem)
Phone interview also coding problem (binary search)
