Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
Applied online for a fresh college grad position. The recruiter contacted me the very next day.
I had two phone interviews, both 45 minutes and technical. They asked about discrete math, algorithm design using arrays, and system design.
I was then called for a full onsite interview. The full day included 5 interviews and lunch. They asked about algorithm design, classifier optimization, my background, system design, dynamic programming, etc. All interviewers were helpful and friendly.
