I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Apr 2010
Interview
I got called from a recruiter who was working an ex-colleague. It seems that they rely a lot on their employee referrals. There was 2 rounds of phone screens by the recruiter, who asked some basic technical questions. I was actually surprised by how well knowledgeable the recruiter is.
Then I was arranged for a full day on site interview with 6 engineers. All reasonable interview questions. Some of them asked me about my experience listed on the resume while others gave standard coding tests. Overall it was a good experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
write a program to count the number of 1 digits in a number's binary representation.
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.
This interview was very good because it was very challenging and therefore a complete process for a new job. How to do a lot more work for me and the kids
Pretty nice very professional best one I ever had can’t complain from the start they were very straight forward when asking questions gave me plenty of time to answer even when it came to the assessment
