Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
Got a referral from a Google employee, finished an online code challenge, and got an email from recruiters to schedule two phone interviews.
The interviewers called right on time and asked me to open the Google Doc to code. The interviewer described the question and gave examples, then asked me to think out loud (meaning talk through my thinking process). I proposed my solution, but the interviewer asked me to increase the time or space efficiency. I didn't get enough time to write down my code.
