Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I had a phone interview with Google for the Software Engineer position.

The interviewer was not friendly at all.

The interview question was rather open-ended.

At the end, I could sense that she thought I was wasting her time, as she seemed eager to end the interview as quickly as possible.

It was a very negative experience for me.

Google, please consider having a friendly interviewer for candidates.
