      Software Engineering Interview

      20 Oct 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Mountain View, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Feb 2014

      Interview

      There were three phone interviews, and I had to code on a Google doc. One interviewer was not able to make it to the interview, so instead, we had the interview a few days later. That interview went terribly, but mostly because I couldn't understand his English. I did the best I could in the interview, and then afterwards I wrote to my recruiter telling her what happened. A few days later, I was pleasantly surprised to hear I got the internship! My recruiter said that it was good I told her what happened. They discounted the feedback from that interview, and they would have re-interviewed me, but it was later on in the year, and my scores from the first two were good enough to let me through.
