Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
This was almost smooth. The questions were not algorithmically difficult, but normal problems that a normal person would encounter during work. Interviews covered all areas from system design to algorithms.
The process took all day, and I was pretty exhausted in the end.
One thing that I observed about Google: if you solved all the problems, it is far from a positive decision; this has to be almost flawless.
