Software Engineer Interview Experience - Sunnyvale, California

September 1, 2018
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I had a very negative experience with Google. I was able to skip the phone screen and go directly onsite. The process was just like any other: 5 coding rounds. Two days after the onsite interview, the recruiter said I had good feedback from the interviewers. After going through 5 fit calls over a span of a little over a week and selecting a team, the recruiter came back the next week after that only to say that I would not be receiving an offer. I would hope that in the future, the decision would go through hiring committee first before selecting a team, as it wasted everybody's time.
