I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in Jan 2016
Interview
I was referred by a friend who works at Google. I got a coding sample task first. Fairly easy. The online coding assignment has two problem to be completed in an hour. The phone screen was scheduled a month after that because I was traveling the whole winter break. The phone screen was not hard either yet my coding skills got rusty.
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.
