Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
I was approached by an HR representative who found my LinkedIn profile. She was very nice and accommodating.
I went through one online test, which had two coding questions. I was given one hour to solve them.
- One question was pretty easy.
- The other was medium-hard difficulty.
I couldn't write an efficient program for the medium-hard question. I got a call back anyway.
The phone interviewer seemed very disinterested in me from the start. I'm not sure if she had already made the decision to reject me. I thought Google interviewers were supposed to be nice, but she wasn't.
