Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
Google's interview process has changed significantly and is much more streamlined.
I had five rounds of on-site interviews.
As always, the questions were challenging, but they were more meaningful and "in-line with reality". The whole process was well planned and well organized.
All interviewers were on time and wrapped up their interviews on time as well.
Of course, there was whiteboard coding, but they were not pedantic about every single syntax.
Questions
The questions were all technical, and I'm not going to disclose them here.
