Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California

January 1, 2016
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I took two technical phone interviews and an on-site interview at the Mountain View office.

Email responses were timely, and the recruiters were nice and helpful.

The phone interviews were of normal difficulty, but the on-site problems were more tricky.

I solved all five questions, with a shift-by-one error and two improved brute-force solutions. I did not get the offer.
