Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
Google had been pursuing me for interviews for over six months. They scheduled my interview with a person who was not qualified to conduct it.
It was very hard to believe that the person hardly had three years of experience and only a bachelor's degree. These were highly unexpected and embarrassing interviews of my life.
I was asked very stupid, bookish questions that were not even completed. The interviewer did not respond or clarify the questions when I asked for clarification.
It was a highly rude and embarrassing moment of my life, having to waste my time on this.
