I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google (Menlo Park, CA) in Aug 2011
Interview
Called by a recruiter after applying online. The process took aprox three months from when I applied on line and I got an email to schedule and interview. I did not use anyone inside the company to present my application. The screening interview took aprox 30 minutes. A month way by before I finally heard that I was not selected to continue in the process.
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
Interview questions [1]
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.
