I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Feb 2017
Interview
One-on-one with 4 different employees covering different roles within the company. Many questions were based on brain teasers such as why we can’t create a transporter like Star Trek because of computing power limitations. Some questions were relevant.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A deep software question about implementation of a basic loop structure.
Very self-driven, first of multiple rounds, where I had to take the initiative to arrive at the problem, constraints, approach, solutions, tradeoffs and reasoning behind it in a matter of 30 minutes.
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.
