Software Engineer Interview Experience

Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I submitted my resume to Google three years ago.

Their headhunter sent me an email this year. We had a chat on the phone, and she kept pinging me afterward to go for an interview test. She suggested some readings for me before the interview and things to study.

I asked her what kind of position and tasks she had in mind for me. She did not know.

I would not know until they hired me and I started working.

Questions

The headhunter had little idea about software engineering, other than the names of a few commonly known tools or languages.
