Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California

Process

I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn. I completed two phone interviews, and most of the questions could be found in interview books or on Glassdoor. I made it to the on-site interview, which involved five back-to-back sessions. It was quite tiring.

I failed the design interview and some coding questions. There were no dynamic programming questions. The lunch interview was the easiest, as we just chatted. One coding interview was easy, but I was grilled a lot in another. That's where I also failed some questions, as they wanted to ask me two, and I only got to one.

Questions

You need to be able to explain a project you've worked on in clear detail. I failed this one, even though I was aware of this question.
