Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
Read my negotiation phase summary down below. That is the reason I wrote this.
Two phone screens. Technical programming challenges.
On-site 5-hour interview. It goes well. My best advice here is to buy a whiteboard.
Meet with teams to see if there is a fit. This happens only after you convince the recruiter you will come to Google. They do NOT want you wasting team members' time.
