Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I had my first technical phone interview. The interviewer was 15 minutes late to call me. When the call did start, the interviewer didn't really do an introduction and didn't discuss my background. They immediately started in on the technical questions. This was my second time interviewing with Google, and the process was much worse this time around.

Questions

They basically asked me to do a substring dynamic programming problem.
