I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in Oct 2017
Interview
Phone screen followed by 5 on-site interviews. Phone screen was easy. The technical portion of the on-site was very difficult and included a lot of math concepts. The interviewers didn't give a lot of positive feedback, leading me to think I wasn't going to get an offer, but I did.
I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Google (Shanghai, Shanghai) in Sept 2024
Interview
The Google interview process includes resume screening, initial phone interviews, multiple technical interviews, onsite interviews with coding and problem-solving, team matching discussions, and a final hiring decision by the committee.
The process took 12 months. I interviewed at Google (San Jose, CA)
Interview
Over 15 months of interviews. In the process, they rewrote the job description 7 times. Clearly, they didn't really know what they wanted. Interviews were set up at the last minute with interviewers who knew nothing about the content or responsibilities of the job. Intense and grueling experience preparing for so many interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If I had 1,000 camera-equipped cars and 6 months, how would I go about mapping every single address on the earth? Where would I start, and why? How would I proceed to the completion of the project?
I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in June 2022
Interview
Unorganized. communication and coordination via recruiters was not good. The first phone interview was rescheduled multiple times. It finally happened, but no one showed on the Google side. After rescheduling again and having the phone interviews, I heard nothing back from recruiters. Perhaps is was a pandemic and economy taking a bad turn thing.
