Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
The interview procedure is quite good. All the recruiters are very nice, and the interviewers are also very friendly. They seem to be trying to recruit you, unlike some other companies that focus on finding your weak points to reject you. It is a great experience.
What's more, the manager round might seem challenging. The manager is not as friendly, however, I believe this is just a test.
