I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2010
Interview
Two 1 hour phone interviews. They were very prompt however the interviewers were not very helpful at all. They asked their questions and then remained silent the whole time. I thought out loud and tried many solutions however didn't come up with a decently efficient one. Towards the last five minutes of the phone call, they would tell you the correct solution and then ask you if you had any questions for them to wrap up the interview....
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
How would you find the power set of a set of numbers? Code it.
Given a word that consists of two words such as "aman" give all the combination of valid two words. You are given a dictionary to test against.
Example: aman--> a man, am an. watermelon--> water melon
1 coding assessment. If you pass, you get to the final round which consists of 4 rounds in one day. 3 technical and one behavioral. The algorithms I had was BFS, Min heaps, and backtracking(parentheses)
Got an OA first.
And an interview call.
Question was backtracking leetcode.
i would say a medium-hard question . I was able to solve it but still got rejected. I was hoping for second on site round. idk why .
But i think my interviewer is not in interested in my code like she is not even correcting me.
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Seattle, WA)
Interview
I applied online with no referral. First was an online coding challenge then 4 virtual onsite 45 minute interviews. I had a call with my recruiter to learn about the details of the interview process. They were 3 technical interviews and 1 behavioral.
