I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Mar 2014
Interview
I think like with most companies a resume is supposed to get you an interview and the interview the job. I don't think Google's hiring process was any different than any other company. However, it was faster. HR and Recruiters are very friendly, informative and helpful.
This was my first interview for a software engineer position. I was terrified and nervous about the technical interviews. The interviewers were nice, helpful and calming. Even though I did not get the offer, I felt happy for the experience. Google makes the process smooth by having great people to interview you.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Cannot answer any questions about interview questions I signed a NDA.
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)
