Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
C++: Easy for me, writing a history buffer.
Two rounds of detailed tech interviews on robotics and autonomous driving.
A tech leadership interview with 5-6 behavioral questions; pretty tough questions for a new grad.
HR ghosted me for two weeks while I had a competing offer. They said the position got closed afterwards. The interviewers were good.
