I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Google in May 2015
Interview
I was referred by someone already working there full-time, and the first part of the process was a 45 minute phone screening. The interviewer had a pretty heavy accent and the phone connection was terrible, lots of static, so it was difficult to understand a lot of what he said, in hindsight I wish I had asked about using Google Hangouts. We were using Google docs so I was able to read his questions at least. There were no behavior questions, just 2 technical questions. After the 2nd question we were at 40 minutes and he said he had 1 question left but we didn't have enough time.
I had the chance to ask my own questions for the last few minutes.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Write a function that removes whitespace ('\t', '\n', ' ') from a string
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.
