No Offer – Interviewed in Mountain View, CA Aug 2012 – Reviewed Aug 26, 2012
Interview Details – Was interviewed at Mountain view campus. There were 5 interviews, each of 45 min duration. All the interviews were Data structures and algorithms related. Basically, they will give you a real problem and you have to write code on the whiteboard which is as close to working as possible. Most problems are from the real world, and are very much solvable within 15-20 mins (much less than the 45 mins interview limit). Most interviewers were polite and helpful. They are looking for your software skills as well as thinking process. They are meticuluously writing down notes. I did not do so well in 3/5 interviews and expected not to get an offer and did not get the offer. But I was happy with the interview process.
Interview Question – Cannot divulge any questions, and it is not important. Answer Question
Other Details - I applied through an employee referral and the process took 1+ week.
