Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
I interviewed with them for an intern position and progressed to the host matching phase. Due to limited projects, I was not extended an offer.
Later, a recruiter reached out to me, asking if I'd be interested in full-time opportunities. The process included an online coding test and an onsite interview, which consisted of four rounds and a lunch talk with an engineer.
Questions
NDA. But the interview questions were only algorithms and data structures. Brush up your basic graph algorithms, binary trees, BSTs, DP, probability, and a little design.
