I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Google
Interview
Phone screened twice as the first position evaporated after a very positive initial phone screen process and I was forced back to square one. In the first screen, I was asked to estimate the number of windows in all of Manhattan, which I answered quite well. The second screener rejected me almost certainly because I wasn't able to adequately solve the probability question below in my head on the spot.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What's the probability of pulling four of a kind from a deck of cards in five tries.
You would have to do a hiring assessment first, then a recruiter screening follows. First round interview with the hiring manager. Majorly product sense and product improvement. The questions were not direct though.
Overall a lot of steps to the interview process. Talked to different people and had opportunities to ask questions. Many different stages which made it a lengthy process overall. Wasn't too bad.
resume screening, a recruiter call, and technical or role-specific interviews. Candidates complete coding, system design, or behavioral rounds. Onsite or virtual panels assess problem-solving, communication, and leadership. Feedback goes to a hiring committee, followed by team matching and final offer discussions.
