I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Google (Dublin, Dublin) in May 2017
Interview
Recruiter contacted me saying that she found my profile on Github. She asked me for my CV, then we scheduled a call.
During the call with recruiter, I was asked popular questions about my previous experience and current projects. Also she asked me about ten basic technical questions. After that I had two phone interviews, which led me to onsite stage.
During on site I had 4 coding interviews and one on large systems design as I was interviewing after university for graduate position.
Unfortunately, I got rejected in a week after interview as hiring committee decided that I lack experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Question about valid parentheses in a string, about possible string permutations.
The hardest as for me was about an interval and water drops, which fall on it. I had to count how many of them are needed to make the interval wet.
HR round after applying, then coding screening round, if passes, then final round which consists of four coding round or three coding and one design round. Problem difficulty medium to hard.
