After a screening, a phone interview was given. The phone interview required talking through a few basic problem-solving situations and physics applications.

The next step was flying out to their Mountain View campus in California for a day of interviews. There were four interviews, each 45 minutes long, with a 15-minute break between them.

Only one person I interviewed with was an actual reliability engineer. Keep in mind I originally applied for a hardware engineering position, but they changed the position the morning of the interviews. I wanted to be a hardware engineer, not a reliability engineer.

The interviewers asked very detailed questions about previous classes taken and required a few problems worked out on a board.

One interviewer quizzed me on my resume. This included the dates listed and the job descriptions listed.
