Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California

Process

I applied online on Thursday and was sent an email on Friday scheduling a video call for the following week.

I then received another email at 6:30 pm on Friday night stating I had 24 hours (!) to complete a 2-hour HackerRank online assessment consisting of 4 questions.

Sending out a 2-hour online assessment on Friday night that needs to be completed by Saturday night is incredibly disrespectful of a candidate's time.

I declined to take the online assessment, figuring that if they are this demanding of the time of prospective employees, they would likely be much worse to an actual employee.
