Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California

March 1, 2018
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

A recruiter reached out to me.

The first round was a HackerRank link with two coding questions and ten multiple-choice questions. The coding questions were simple.

Onsite interview #1 followed immediately, and then onsite interview #2.

Two days later, I received a rejection. The feedback stated that while it was positive and the interviewers liked me, they felt I did not have the relevant experience. Wasn't that obvious from my resume?

Questions

Same questions already listed by other candidates, such as:

  • Drawing a circle.
  • Designing the memory layout with C++ multiple inheritance and virtual functions.
  • Reversing the contents of a file.
