      Software Engineer(Internship) Interview

      Jul 10, 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google in Sep 2015

      Interview

      I applied through a referral in September 2015. A week later they got back to me and scheduled for 2 45-minute phone interviews, coding in a Google doc. Both interviewers were very friendly and supportive (it was hard to understand one of them because of the accent though). Both interviews consisted mainly of coding questions. However, we discussed my resume with the second interviewer for ~ 5 minutes. I heard back from my recruiter 3 weeks after the interview. They were ready to proceed with the offer before the host matching process (open offer - guarantees you a project during host matching). Later I had three host matching interviews. In the first one the host decided to go forward with another candidate, the second project was not interesting to me and the third one was pretty much a perfect match :)

      Interview questions [4]

      Question 1

      Your CV says you do mobile development for both Android and iOS. Could you compare the development process for those 2 platforms?
      Answer question
