Interview

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Oct 2017
Interview
Two interviews over the phone after having a brief talk with the recruiter. The most annoying part is the host matching that can take a lot of time, fortunately it was fast this time but for other interns it took a lot of time.
