Google Software Developer interview questions

Die Vorstellungsgespräche waren ziemlich informativ und entspannt. Das Unternehmen kannte meine Arbeit bereits, also war der Prozess eher kurz - nur ein paar Befrager. Ich wurde gebeten, ein Problem auf dem Whiteboard zu lösen, meine Lösung wurde diskutiert und dann diskutierten wir darüber, wie sie verbessert werden könnte. Dann wurde ein anderes (und sehr viel komplexeres) Problem präsentiert und ich wurde gefragt, wie ich mich ihm nähern würde - keine tatsächliche Codierung, nur Diskussion. Sie sagen "Alles auf Ihrem Lebenslauf ist Freiwild" und meinen es so - seien Sie vorbereitet und haben sie keine zu hohen Ansprüche. Der Personalvermittler war auch sehr hilfreich über den gesamten Prozess hinweg und sehr offen, meine Fragen zu beantworten und mich wissen zu lassen, was vor sich geht.

Communication with the company were great. The recruiter was timely in her responses to email queries and was very friendly to deal with. The phone interviews (2) were appropriate in length and in content and the interviewers were only time. The onsite interviews were also well planned and well scheduled, everyone was on time. I had 5 or 6 1:1 interviews during my day and they all asked different types of technical questions. The only nit I would pick was that the focus was entirely technical, it seemed like no one really cared about my personal or career growth or what I really wanted to do. The actual hiring process is what I had the most problem with. Google insists on hiring really smart people and putting them on somewhat random projects. During the interview process they will tell you nothing about what you'll be working on, in fact they don't even know until the day you start! This is ridiculous when you are trying to hire engineers with difficult to find specialty skills. These same people are getting compelling offers from other companies who are willing to let them work on stuff in their domain of expertise and are willing to tell then what they'll work on. Google treats all of its new hires like they are fresh out of college. I.e. they are smart, but have little experience so they'll be ready to just work on anything just because its Google. Sadly this is simply not true of the more experience senior people out there.
