I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Sept 2010
Interview
Phone screen was good, done via Google Docs. All about Trees.
Interview consisted of several whiteboard-problem solving sessions; more trees, hash-tables.
6 interviews in total. 4 went well, 2 not so well. Last 2 were with people with very poor interpersonal skills... not sure if that was part of the test... I would not have accepted an offer anyway due to (a) location [Mountain View is very expensive, I found out while visiting], (b) office layout [everyone is crammed in to very small places], (c) attitude of last 2 interviewers.... what if one of those was my boss?
And the food wasn't *that* great :)
Very difficult. There were several programming questions and wasn’t that great. There is a behavioral aspect as well, so that isn’t that bad. Just keep studying leetcode and keep creating projects.
This interview was very good because it was very challenging and therefore a complete process for a new job. How to do a lot more work for me and the kids
Pretty nice very professional best one I ever had can’t complain from the start they were very straight forward when asking questions gave me plenty of time to answer even when it came to the assessment
