I applied online. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in Jan 2016
Interview
It wasnt difficult but pretty long. They asked me for an interview after I applied online and then I had to prepare for 2 back to back phone interviews. It was the engineering practicum and I applied pretty late around November. Which is probably a big reason why its was harder to get into because they already filled a lot of slots.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain a time you worked on a project, and how did you attack the biggest problem for it.
there is no online assessment, very simple phone call, then two technicals. technicals are not difficult by any means. then you get put into team matching, after a couple months
