Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
Pretty Disappointing...
I came in with expectations of great food, super smart people, and nice facilities. None of these shine in comparison to any other "good" software companies.
In fact, I would say they might even be less attractive than many of the SF "startups" like the likes of Uber.
Furthermore, their process takes FOREVER. 6 months is way too long when their competition can crank out an offer within 2 to 3 weeks after the initial phone screen.
