Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
I first had a 45-minute phone interview that involved one easy programming question.
A few days later, I was contacted about having a longer interview at their office in Seattle. They flew me to Seattle for the interview.
The interview was 5 hours long:
- Two 1-hour interviews in the morning.
- An hour-long lunch with an engineer where I could ask questions about working at Google.
- Two more 1-hour interviews after lunch.
After the interview, they said they would get back to me within 4 weeks. After 6 weeks, they rejected me.
