Software Engineer New Grad Interview Experience - Menlo Park, California
Process
Received a referral, was contacted by a recruiter the day after.
Got a phone interview scheduled with an algorithms question. I took a little while to get the question, but eventually solved it and was pretty clear in explaining my thought process.
I attended a "University Day" onsite. It had 3 technical interviews with some additional tours, Q&As, and product demos. One of the technical interviews was 50/50 technical and behavioral. The rest were all whiteboarding algorithms questions.
Heard back in 3 weeks with an offer.
