      Easy Interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Google in January 2017.

      Interview

      Initially it was 2 technical 45 minute phone interviews. Need to code on a shared google doc.
      Then they called for an additional one. So 3 interviews in total. It took around a 3 weeks.

      I wouldn't call it a difficult interview. The questions were very straightforward. No googliness or puzzles. Basic data structures and algorithm, especially trees. 2 of my rounds were on trees. If you are done with CTCI, you should be able to ease it. Get your data structures strong, really strong . Also, get comfortable coding. This is very vital, as interview preps can stress you out and you can blank out even on the basics. So practice a lot.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Google in January 2017.

      Interview

      I had several rounds of phone and Hangouts interviews which were 45 minutes each. Ideally the time is spent with 5-10 minutes for introductions, 30 minutes to answer a technical question, and the remaining time for follow-up questions. Questions aren't hard but require looking beyond the first solution and optimizing. I was disappointed in how little the interviewers asked me about myself or my projects. Maybe two of my interviews did so.

      Interview

      Applied online, then two on-campus interviews. Friendly recruiters and very quick turnaround. My interviews basically dove straight into technical questions, not much discussion of my resume or experience. Some other people had an additional phone screen after.
