Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
I applied through a recruiter and was contacted by another recruiter within Google.
I went through a quick phone screen with the interviewer and was then scheduled for a technical phone interview.
Sadly, it was my first technical interview ever, and I was so nervous I couldn't wrap my head around an easy problem. So, I did not get a second interview or an on-site.
