Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
It was great. I had 4 rounds of interviews at the Mountain View office. Everybody was super nice and smart.
I had 2 interviews before lunch, and then an engineer took me to lunch. We walked around the Google campus. I had 2 other interviews afterwards.
The questions were not that difficult. However, I don't usually get up early in the morning, so I did not do well in the first interview at all.
