Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California

January 1, 2016
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The phone screen interview was scheduled three times. The first two times, the interviewer did not call without any notice. For this interview, I had to set aside time as it needed to be done on a computer. This meant I had to be out of the office. That's why I was upset that the interview was cancelled twice without any notice.

There were two interviewers. One did not speak English very well, making it very difficult to understand. In fact, I had to ask them to repeat themselves every time.

  1. What is a transaction?
