Process
The interview process for the software engineer position at Google was an amazing experience.
It was clear from the outset that Google is looking for the best and brightest engineers, and I felt challenged every step of the way.
The technical questions were difficult but fair, and I was able to demonstrate my problem-solving abilities and coding skills.
I also appreciated the opportunity to meet with current Google employees and learn more about the company culture.
