Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
I had one phone interview, followed by five on-site interviews.
Questions
The phone interview was relatively easy, with standard textbook questions.
Two out of five on-site interviews included questions that dealt with design and problem-solving.
Three of them were about dynamic programming, memory management, and data structures.
It was a very good and insightful experience. I highly recommend applying to Google to get a better sense of where you are as a junior engineer and also to see the campus.
