Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
I am a sophomore who applied through an employee referral. Within a week, a recruiter contacted me.
I had my interviews three weeks later. They were two back-to-back, 45-minute technical phone interviews.
One interviewer had a very strong accent, and I had trouble understanding him.
I was notified of the decision three weeks after the interviews by phone call.
Overall, the process was very personalized and straightforward.
