I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Jun 2018
Interview
Applied online through school job website.
The interviewer contacted within a week and asked for a date within a week for phone technical interview. I asked for 2 weeks of time, solved 150 leetcode problems. 70-80 specific to google. Phone interview was with a Ph.D working at google for 5 years. Asked a coding question after introduction. I solved it in 25 minutes on google doc. He asked a followup question on the same problem, solved it in 5 minutes. At 40 minutes mark we talked about life at google and such for 10 minutes.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
LISP expression parsing and a followup question on it.
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.
