I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Google in Oct 2010
Interview
2 phone interviews. Pretty standard questions. First interview had an open-ended question while the second interview focused more on algorithmic questions.
Both the interviewers were pretty helpful every time I would get stuck. In the first interview, it was more like a discussion, but at the end he did ask me to code some parts of the solution I gave. The second interview was completely coding based.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Sort a million 32 bit integers using only 2MB of RAM
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)
Interview
I applied online with no referral. First was an online coding challenge then 4 virtual onsite 45 minute interviews. I had a call with my recruiter to learn about the details of the interview process. They were 3 technical interviews and 1 behavioral.
