Software Engineer Interview Experience - Zürich, Switzerland
Process
After talking to a recruiter, I had one initial interview, followed by a day of five interviews. Four of them were purely algorithmic.
All of the people I met were nice and smart, and it was a great experience to talk with them, despite not getting an offer. Even not being a Google employee yet, I was treated incredibly well.
The recruiter was always willing to talk to me, got back to me quickly with results, and was also willing to share feedback. I wish all companies were like this.
Questions
One non-algorithmic question I was asked was about an interesting project I worked on.
