Software Engineer Interview Experience

January 1, 2015
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I was referred by a Google employee.

I heard back from a recruiter the next day, confirming my information had been forwarded to another recruiter.

The recruiter contacted me two days later to schedule three technical interviews, which took place a month later.

I had the three 45-minute technical interviews back to back.

The interviews were, likely by chance, in increasing order of difficulty.

I didn't feel very confident after my interviews, and I heard back the next day that they would not be moving forward with my application.

Questions

Due to NDA, I will not discuss these. Know your data structures and practice talking through a problem.
