I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at YouTube (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2015
Interview
Applied to Google online. Got an email back the next day with a position for YouTube. Scheduled a phone screen a few weeks out, and then got a standard technical interview. Got a call a week later saying to come back in 12 months.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Find the closest common ancestor in a binary tree, given any two nodes of the tree.
It was a 3 round interview process with 2 technical rounds and 1 HR round. I was mostly asked DSA focused questions. Trees, heap, graphs and sliding window were mostly stressed for me.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at YouTube in Oct 2024
Interview
Long and slow. There were four rounds of interviews spanning over a month and they don't get back to you quickly. The interviews themselves were ok and took an hour each.
The interview process was demanding as they asked several questions about my masters degree thesis and on my research projects, which were challenging to remember as I had done these more than 7 years ago.
