I applied online. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in May 2018
Interview
Two whiteboard questions, not particularly difficult but the interviewers did not know how to phrase the question correctly. Took me about 15-20 min to understand what they were saying because they were so unclear. One of the interviewers was not a fluent English speaker (so it took a while to explain the question) and I could hear the second interviewer slurping and eating things on the other end of the call (which made my confidence waver because he seemed so disinterested). I was already sick that day and extremely nervous, so to be treated this way tipped me over and I cried afterwards.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If Susan and her 4 friends went on a trip and they each had 50 dollars, but different spending, how can they pay each other back? (See, it doesn't make sense).
there is no online assessment, very simple phone call, then two technicals. technicals are not difficult by any means. then you get put into team matching, after a couple months
