Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California

Process

Same questions as on Glassdoor.com. Topics included LRU cache, designing a Hangman web application, and generic HashMap implementation. The interviewers expected very specific answers, delivered in a particular way. They corrected me on almost every line while I was writing the code. I was supposed to have four interviews, but was abruptly and rudely stopped during the third one. I hope they will be a little more professional in the future.

Know Java, collections, APIs, and LRU Cache inside and out, and you should easily get through.
