      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      8 Nov 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Palo Alto, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Google (Palo Alto, CA)

      Interview

      Typical leetcoode Google stylerWent through a phone screen, technical interview, and full day of onsite interviews over about 2 months. Process was well-organized with responsive recruiters and clear communication throughout. Technical questions were challenging, focusing on algorithms and system design. Interviewers were knowledgeable and professional, though the process felt quite academic at times. While I didn't receive an offer, it was a valuable learning experience. The only real downside was the lack of feedback after rejection. Would recommend thorough preparation for algorithms and system design questions if you're planning to interview.
