Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
The interview process consisted of:
- 1 round design
- 2 rounds algo + data structure
- 1 round tech communication
- 1 round HM
Technical questions were very common. I handled them quickly. The HM asked a very high-level question, such as how to back up data between two servers. No assumptions were given, and no guidance was provided. I had no idea what he wanted, and he just kept smiling. I already knew what would happen at that moment. It was a bad experience.
Advice: Try to avoid HMs who plan to hire their relatives. Compared to Facebook, the interview culture here is very different.
Questions
