Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
The process began with a technical phone screen. I performed well enough to be invited to an onsite interview, which consisted of five 45-minute interviews plus a lunch.
The algorithms questions weren't as hard as I expected. Since it was for a front-end role, there were more JavaScript-heavy questions, along with some DOM traversal and manipulation.
I heard back from my recruiter within a week. They said I did well enough to begin matching me with a team. That process took another week, and then approximately two more weeks to finalize the offer.
