Software Engineering Interview Experience

Process

I received an employee referral and was contacted two weeks later to set up interviews. I scheduled two 45-minute, back-to-back phone interviews for two weeks later.

Two weeks after that, the recruiter informed me they wanted a third interview to collect more data points, so I had another interview scheduled for two weeks later.

Two weeks after the third interview, I was told that I did not get the position. (Google seems to like to run in two-week blocks!)

All the interviewers were very nice. They asked me about the classes I'd taken so they could ensure their questions were within the scope of my knowledge.

Was this helpful?
