Software Engineer Interview Experience - Sunnyvale, California

February 1, 2019
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

  1. Technical Phone Screen

  2. On-site: 45 minutes, 5 interviews

  3. Team Matching

  4. Hiring Committee

  5. Decision

I made it through step 4 and was rejected at that stage. The interview process spanned across two months, so I would suggest you keep that in mind. You are able to rush through the process if you schedule the phone call and on-site interviews one after the other. However, Google isn't a company for which you'd want to rush through the process half-prepared.

Take as much time as you need to prepare; the recruiters are generally nice about it and they do give you ample time.
