Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
It was overall a good process, with three DSA rounds and one Googlyness round. All of which were medium to hard difficulty.
For DSA, prepare LeetCode patterns very well because Google never asks a direct LeetCode question. They have their own unique set of questions, and none is ever repeated.
For Googlyness, I used Jeff H. Sipe’s YouTube videos for preparation. They are hands down the best.
