Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California

November 1, 2010
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interviewer asked a few questions about my resume.

I think I talked too long when the interviewer said, "tell me about yourself."

Be careful with that question; the interviewer is probably just looking for a couple of key points.

Also, use the opportunity to say something personal so they know you're a real person.

Questions

Was asked how I would implement division without using division or mod operators. The answer should return as quotient and remainder.

Was asked to implement a Linked List insertion.
