Software Engineer Interview Experience - São Paulo, Brazil
Process
I applied for the position on the Google website after seeing it on LinkedIn. Some time later, I received an email from the recruiter to talk.
Subsequently, the technical interview was scheduled for the following week. The interview was in English and conducted by a software engineer.
During the interview, I was asked about the functioning of some structures, and the problem presented was a data structure problem. In the end, I managed to solve it, but I didn't move on to the next stage. I believe it was due to not knowing some specific questions about the functioning of some structures, but it was an excellent experience.
