      Software Engineer Intern Interview

      9 Feb 2011
      Anonymous employee
      Dublin, Dublin
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Google (Dublin, Dublin) in Dec 2010

      Interview

      I have been asked of sending my CV by an employee, and I sent it in July 2010. In September a recruiter contacted me back and we started the interview process. The process itself is long and sometimes I had to wait 2-3 weeks between each interview and its outcome. They assign you a recruiter and she follows all the phases of the process, quickly answering to your questions and keeping you updated. The interviewers are very competent and friendly, if you don't know something they tend to help you, because they need to know how you reason and what is your background. The people seem overall excellent. The process is a bit lengthy but not unbearable.

      Compute all the intersections of two sets of segments in a line.
