Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
Coding and basic algorithmic questions were asked during the phone interview. They then invited me for an onsite interview.
During the onsite interview, it was mostly algorithmic questions with some coding. Some of the questions were clever and rather difficult (one involved basic number theory, and one was a very advanced algorithms question).
Then there were some open-ended questions, where the goal was to observe the thinking process and suitability for team-wide discussions.
