Software Engineer New Grad Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
I received a 90-minute coding challenge, followed by an hour-long technical interview by phone with a Google engineer, and then four hour-long technical interviews on-site. I didn't find the coding challenge or the phone call too difficult, but some of the on-site interviews were very challenging. I waited about six weeks after the on-site interviews to receive a rejection.
