      Engineering Interview

      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google (San Jose, CA) in Apr 2010

      Interview

      After recruiter's phone call with general organizational questions, I had short technical phone interview. Interviewer was late for 10 minutes, thus we talked only 30-35 min. For this time he was able to ask me not very much: some of my previous experience, most difficult bug I've faced recently, and one technical question with coding in shared doc. After that he let me to ask him something about google. He answered one question and finished interview, so I had no change to fund out everything I planned. Also I had a feeling, the guy was not interested to be there, coz he was not leading me through resolution process and talked very little. Also his communication skills could be better - I hardly understood his questions in Indian English and asked to repeat several times. Google should sent better skilled and more open English speakers to interview, IMHO. I successfully resolved technical coding question in two different ways (time and memory efficient) with commenting my resolution thoughts, but have got negative response from recruiter in 1 week.

      Application

      I interviewed at Google (Los Angeles, CA)

      Interview

      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.
