Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California

June 1, 2015
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Applied through LinkedIn.

Received a technical phone interview with two questions: one on recursion and a standard programming question.

The onsite interview consisted of six rounds:

  • Algorithm
  • Programming
  • Design
  • Manager
  • Lunch/Cultural fit
  • Technical discussion

The interviewers were nice.

If you have to chase your recruiter for a result, it likely means you have not received an offer.

Questions

Questions on the algo/programming round at the onsite interview were taken from the top 10 questions on LeetCode. If your answer matches the solution the interviewer has in mind, you clear the interview; otherwise, you don't, even if your solution is correct. The design round was easy.
