Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
A Google representative came to my school, and I submitted my resume. After about two weeks, I got a call back for a phone interview. There were two phone interviews back to back, which were challenging but fun. Then, about three weeks later, I received a call asking for a one-on-one interview at the Googleplex. Very cool!
College recruiting day was very scheduled. I had three interviews back to back in the morning. I bombed the second one and received a call one week later saying "no thanks."
