I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Feb 2014
Interview
I got 2 back-to-back 45 minutes interviews. I think I was a bit too slow on answering the questions, and I got completely flustered when asked if I had any questions at the end of the first interview (don't do that, prepare questions, such what the interviewer works on and how he likes Google etc.).
I did sign an NDA, so I won't say what the questions were, though they did cover BSTs, binary search, finding intersection. I also explained how mergesort works (and I didn't do it as naturally as I should have).

Question 1
Probabilities. I was not expecting probabilities, and I needed a lot of help to land on the correct solution.
I was also not really expecting the "tell me about yourself" type of question, though looking back, I should have.
I was asked network questions and linux questions. Basics CLI commands and more elaborated ones here I was asked to explain the processus of thoughts. Asked also about school experiences

Question 1
What is the name of the command to see the processus running in background
I didn’t get an interview because my resume must not be a fit. I also don’t grind leetcode so idk. I hope in the future I will be a SWE FANG hype beast
The interview process involves long, complex processes and extensive candidate analysis, with plentiful of interviews, screening rounds, and evaluations. Although it was very organization and able to know the status, the entire process was quite extensive, looking for the right person.
