I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Google
Interview
Recruiter was really helpful throughout the whole interview process. The interviewer was also very professional and helped me calm down during the interview. The questions themselves are not that unique or different from questions you would get from other companies but it seems like their bar for the answers/performance is quite high.

Question 1
Probability question, coding question related to statistical analysis/probability, open-ended question
It was all good, the interviewer was very nice. Technical questions were a bit challenging but overall it was good. The hiring manager was looking for some hands on experience
