The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Mar 2010
Interview
Overall process was well organized.
First a recruitment specialist of some sort called me to know more about my area of expertise and i think this was used to pick the folks who would interview me. Their interview process is aimed at selecting a new employee for the company ..and not for a particular group
First there were two technical interviews on the phone. each interview was 45 or 50 mins. First part of each interview were technical questions to gauge my understanding in my areas of expertise. the second part of each interview was problem solving.
The on-site interviews : There were 4 interviews totally on the same day.. each about 45 or 50 mins. First there are two interviews, then lunch and then another two interviews. Someone will take you to lunch at their cafeteria after the 2nd interview.
The on-site interviews were focused more on problem solving... so back to back problem solving i felt was a bit strenuos. i was somewhat mentally drained by the last interview.
Write algorithm to compute a Log to the base 2 of a number (integral results no need for floating point). Solution should not assume a particular size of integer
- maximum sum of any continuous subsequence in an array of signed integers
whats the complexity.
- program to compute fibonacci sequence..standard recursive and more efficent iterative one.. algorithmic complexity of both.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in May 2008
Interview
I was able to skip phone interview due to friend recommendation but typically you will be screened by phone. Your on site interview will be a full day and you will be quizzed by 4-5 developers. You will be asked technical questions and be asked to write some programs on a white board. These will tend to be computer science type problems: Convex Hull, String manipulation, List manipulation, and so on.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Develop a solution to convex hull and state its complexity.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Dec 2009
Interview
One screening phone interview with recruiter, on-site interview thereafter with 6 engineers at Googleplex. All the engineers looked very smart but the interview questions were somewhat consistent (Big O notation and hash table) and not practical in real scenarios. They definitely look for particular engineers and they basically have no interest in your past experience. Not recommended for career development.
