Software Engineer (Software Developer II) Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
The complete process took 4 weeks but was basically 3 rounds:
- HR Phone Screen
- Phone Screen (Technical)
- Skype Interviews (3 rounds, 1 hour each, technical)
The interviewers were good and helpful during the interviews. All were senior manager level people. Overall, it was a good and learning experience.
Questions
The position involved Backend Java Development and Big Data.
Phone Screen: Questions on resume and RESTful services. Skype 1: RESTful services. Skype 2: Object Oriented Design. Skype 3: Database internals (How does indexing work? How many different types of indexing?).
I believe I lost it in the last interview on database internals, as I am not strong in that area.
