I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Dec 2016
Interview
A quick online coding test, followed by an email to get my background and set up a phone interview. Did the phone interview and was contacted a few days later that they wanted me to come in for onsite interviews. After several calls setting up the interview and describing the process, I was flown to San Jose and had a series of four 45-minute interviews. Google paid for all travel expenses and meals. I felt like I did well on three of the interviews but bombed the last. It didn't help that there was a shadow interviewer present.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Each interview had one or more questions in a different area. For me, the interviews were broken up into questions about algorithms, design, bit manipulation, and operating systems.
1 coding assessment. If you pass, you get to the final round which consists of 4 rounds in one day. 3 technical and one behavioral. The algorithms I had was BFS, Min heaps, and backtracking(parentheses)
Got an OA first.
And an interview call.
Question was backtracking leetcode.
i would say a medium-hard question . I was able to solve it but still got rejected. I was hoping for second on site round. idk why .
But i think my interviewer is not in interested in my code like she is not even correcting me.
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Seattle, WA)
Interview
I applied online with no referral. First was an online coding challenge then 4 virtual onsite 45 minute interviews. I had a call with my recruiter to learn about the details of the interview process. They were 3 technical interviews and 1 behavioral.
