Software Engineer Interview Experience - Los Angeles, California

Process

After applying on the Google website, I received an online form asking for various information related to academic interests and other details, such as why I'm interested in Google and which teams I'm interested in.

The phone screen can be conducted over the phone or through Google Voice (for some reason, not Hangouts). This experience went horribly for me due to issues with the phone connection on the interviewer's side.

After a while, it felt like the interviewers were not interested in knowing my full profile and did not even look at my resume or ask relevant questions. They were just stuck on data structures and algorithms.
