Process
A recruiter reached out to me in the fall of my senior year of college.
I had interviewed the year before for an internship, and the recruiter started by saying I was in "good standing" and that they wanted to move ahead with a technical phone interview on Hangouts and Google Docs.
That was fine and was followed by an invitation to fly to Mountain View for the final round of interviews.
I declined this offer for personal reasons.
