Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
I applied through a referral and had my interview today. I had so much hope for such a high-tech company, but because the interviewer wasn't prepared, I might have missed my chance.
The interviewer was nice but didn't have questions ready. He had an issue joining, which took 5-10 minutes from the interview, but still ended the interview on time.
I didn't get input for my issues or expected output. It was a really bad experience.
