Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I submitted my application online.

After a week, a recruiter contacted me via email to schedule a preliminary screen. The call was mainly about scheduling the next technical phone interview.

In the technical phone interview, the interviewer asked me questions on tree traversal and graphs. I visited Google for an onsite interview a few weeks later.

The onsite interview consisted of 5 1:1 interviews plus a lunch.
