I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google in Apr 2011
Interview
Overall a fairly strenuous interview process - likely because you know you're interviewing at Google. Preparation for the initial phone interview is key to making it onsite. The onsite interview lasted all day and interviewed with 5 different people. Each asked similar questions but each also had their own unique questions depending on their role. The key is preparing well, confident with your answers but not rehearsed. And don't wear a suit - you'd be really out of place. I wore a shirt, slacks, and tie and that was plenty. The interviews went very well. I was narrowed to the final 5 people and I didn't get selected.
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
