Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California

December 1, 2016
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

It was hard because they scheduled me to have four of the five 45-minute interviews all back to back. It was also getting late in the day, so I was exhausted.

I started my first interview at 11 AM, which was too late.

I suggest trying to schedule your interviews: two in the morning, then lunch, then three in the afternoon.

Questions

Someone asked me a weird math problem that I had to do a proof of. WTF?
