I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Apr 2017
Interview
I was asked consulting questions instead of operational. The questions weren't reflective of the job description. They should have asked more about my operational experience. This is my opinion.

Question 1
1) How will you clean all the glass windows and doors for a city?
I submitted my resume, waited weeks, then got to do a recruiter screen and a tough coding call. Finally, I got an onsite interview before being told I was rejected

Question 1
Given integers n, d and three arrays a[], b[], c[] of size n each, print count of all distinct triplets {i,j,k} such that all three conditions satisfy -
abs(a[i]-b[j])<=d,
abs(b[j]-c[k])<=d &
abs(c[k]-a[i])<=d.
n<=100000
(You can assume the arrays are sorted)
Follow up: print all triplets
First round interview, covering mainly brain teasers and experience. Very analytical question list and live problem soling and gaming scenarios. Enjoyable but challenging process, very intelligent interviewers. Following round was a super day
It was very uncertain, overall the area of coverage and expectation was just too much. Must know very deep into the space. I would recommend to study beyond the technicals and more about the space of which the team operated in.
