Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California

July 1, 2011
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

A recruiter contacted me on Friday afternoon via LinkedIn and their own website. I told them I had a pending offer, and they scheduled a phone screening for Monday, followed by an on-site interview on Tuesday. This was very efficient.

When I received the interview confirmation letter, I was surprised to see that I needed to meet with a dozen interviewers. Actually, I stayed in a meeting room, and interviewers came in pairs to ask me questions. It seemed that one of them was the primary interviewer, and the other was shadowing him or her.
