I applied through other source. I interviewed at Google (Kirkland, WA) in May 2014
Interview
Sent my resume to a few Google employees. Heard back from the recruiter the next day. Phone screen was very straightforward (basics in computer security, some programming etc.) Had a day-long interview in Kirkland (five 1HR interviews). I cannot really go into the details of the questions due to non-disclosure agreement. However, focus on data structures and algorithms. Hash, heap, graphs, and depth-first-search seem to be the favorites.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
None of the questions were what I had seen before. But none of them were very difficult either.
Disconnected. Uninterested recruiter. Lack of transparency throughout the process. I passed all interviews and the recruiting team was not able to connect me to any team, months later, asked me to clear some technical interviews again, which I did, and failed to connect me to a team.
