Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California

May 1, 2011
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I was first contacted by a recruiter. My interviews consisted of:

  • Two 45-minute phone interviews
  • An on-site interview with four engineers (45 minutes each)

The questions were mostly coding-related, but I also discussed my research in some of the interviews. Overall, the questions were not particularly difficult, and I felt I performed adequately. Therefore, I was quite disappointed to learn that I would not receive an offer.
