I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Boston, MA) in Oct 2019
Interview
Back to back phone interview. Each round is 45 mins. Average one question per round. Use Google Doc as a whiteboard to display code. Feedback was positive, the interviewers were very nice. They will help you to relax and perform better.

Question 1

e.g. pow(7349735853974, 389274834729)
there is no online assessment, very simple phone call, then two technicals. technicals are not difficult by any means. then you get put into team matching, after a couple months
