Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
I had my interview in late 2012. The first round was a 45-minute phone interview.
Then, I was brought onsite to meet five interviewers. The questions consisted of whiteboard coding, algorithms, and design questions.
The interviewers were all nice and professional. Some people cared about bug-free coding.
I received my offer about one week later.
Questions
Some algorithm questions can be very hard. Due to an NDA, I won't be able to share.
