Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
The recruiter was very polite and responsive.
I heard back within a week of my second interview.
There was an initial screening and then a 1-on-1 technical interview.
The technical interview was over the phone, using a Google Doc, and the interviewer was difficult to understand/hear. I would have definitely preferred using some other medium to communicate.
