Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California

Process

I applied at my university and went through the standard process:

  • Background and behavioral phone interviews
  • Coding challenges
  • On-site interview, for which I was flown out.

The problems were interesting and challenging. Only one of the four on-site interview questions was, in my opinion, slightly "unfair," perhaps only because of how it was worded to me.

Overall, the interview and application process was great, despite my rejection.

Was this helpful?
