Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
Referred through an acquaintance, I received an email asking for comfortable dates for interviewing with them. I interviewed with them three weeks later and received the result in five days.
The interviewers were great, very calm and patient. The recruiter was the best; she called to let me know the outcome of the interview when just a rejection email would have sufficed.
