I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in Sep 2014
Interview
I have two recruiters during the process. Both are nice, the interviewers are in general nice. Just take it as a collaboration effort to solve some interesting problems. I went through almost everything, somehow did not have the blessing from the final VP. The recruiter could not tell me why.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic stuff: relatively practical problems use stack, queue, binary search. None expected.
For example, maximum points on a line given a list of coordinates, 3 sum variants: a+b+c<target integer for a given unsorted into array, RPN. Some design questions, touched consistent hashing.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Aug 2014
Interview
It was long and after 2 phone interviews was schedules for an in person one. And they totally messed up on that last part.
I was first contacted by a recruiter and informed them on the progress of my career and they said google would be certainly interested.
What followed up was 2 phone interviews which I passed with flying colors.
Apply online and HR gets back to me with in one day. Interview is scheduled and pushed that out due to unavailability of interviewer. Finally date and time are set. Interviewer has strong accent and couldn't understand what he's asking most of the time. No introduction of who he is and what's his role in the team. Just start off with bunch of questions. Hear lot of keyboard strike noise. Interviewer must be typing during interview and also there is a lot of echo when ever interviewer puts phone on speaker. Interviewer has no knowledge about technology/role which is advertised.Not at all enjoy the interview.
