Software Engineer (SDE) - New Grad Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
I applied in July and got a call from a recruiter in the first week of September. I then scheduled my interview for mid-October. So, I had four back-to-back interviews: the first round (Googlyness) and then three technical rounds. They went well, but I couldn't provide the most optimal solution; I had a normally optimal solution.
The next day after the interview, the recruiter called and said they were not moving forward with my application and that I cannot apply again for the next 12 months to Google.
Questions
I cannot disclose the Google interview questions. They are from linked lists, test cases, and dynamic programming.
