Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California

February 1, 2015
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The process is the same as what others have described.

It starts with a chat with a recruiter, an online quiz, two phone screens, and then around five technical interviews. Finally, there's one interview with managers about job skills.

I made it to the last round and walked out thinking I had the job.

I can't stress enough what others have said. It seems these individuals don't know who they want to hire and are playing dice.

Based on what I've read, others seemed to have gotten the offer but still "messed up" on a lot of the interviews. I thought I did better, but yet I received no offer.

My recommendation is: do not waste your time here. What is the point if, at the end, it will come down to a coin flip?

I rated the interview process as "no opinion" solely because the people I talked to were very nice.

Questions

I can't say because I signed a non-disclosure agreement.
