Originally only have one round. After my first round, they added another round, then I bombed the second one. Overall very clear instructions. The people are very nice. I did one question for the first round and two for the second round. Will apply again next year. Good luck guys!
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google in Dec 2015
Interview
I have been reffered by my univercity teacher. I had two technical interviews in a row, conducted in Hangouts. The interviewers were nice and supportive, first they asked me to tell about myself, then moved to the questions (basicly data structures and graph algorithms) where I first had to explain my solution orally and then write the code in Google Doc. In the end I had some time to ask my questions about the workflow in Google.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Dec 2015
Interview
I applied for a summer internship in Europe - I was waiting about 3 weeks for the response, but finally they scheduled 2 phone interviews for me. The recruiter and the interviewers were kind, tasks were rather easy. However, the sound quality over the phone, especially for a non-native English speaker like me, could be better. Next time I'll ask them to conduct it over Hangouts.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Write down the names of sorting algorithms you know and specify their runtime and space complexities (+ short discussion).
There was a task to do some calculations on a set of characters - I don't remember how exactly was it going, but the thing was that there was a short array of distinct chars given and I had to generate all possible permutations of it.
