Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
I applied for the position through the school's website.
I was brought into the company's headquarters and had a total of four interviews, with a combination of both behavioral and technical questions.
The behavioral interviews consisted of what I did previously on my past internships and school projects, and described situations in which I demonstrated leadership ability.
The technical interviews consisted of programming questions and brain teasers.
I would say that the people with whom I interviewed were all very amicable and intelligent.
Questions
You have two strings, each of which burns in exactly one hour, although not at a constant rate.
How do you measure 45 minutes with only these two strings?
