After a phone call interview, I was flown to Mountain View. The interview began at 8 AM and ended at 5 PM. I was interviewed by four or five different people.

The first interview was a walk-through where they asked philosophical questions. The second involved coding challenges. The third was a brief discussion of my education. The fourth included two basic circuit questions: completing a circuit and explaining how diodes work. The final part featured optics-related questions, mostly concerning interferometry.

Finally, there was a pretentious statement from someone else. It wasn't really an interview but more of someone telling me how amazing they were, delivered in a condescending manner.
