I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Aug 2019
Interview
First was a pair of online coding questions. 45 minutes each and no efficiency requirements.
About two weeks later it was a pair of phone interviews using Google docs for shared coding. Each was 45 minutes and they were back to back.
Two weeks later they got back to me and schedule two more phone interviews. As I understand it this is unusual and might have been because I struggled on the second interview.
About two weeks after that I recieved an automated email denying me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You have an undirected acyclic graph and are playing a game. Both players select a node then take turns claiming all nodes connected to theirs. The winner is the player who ends up with the most nodes.
Q1. Assuming you go second; write an algorithm to choose the optimal node.
Q2. Assuming you go first; write an algorithm to choose the optimal node.
Home exam, 2 questions in 90 mins
Then they did 2 interviews-45 mins each
It was on google meet
The interviews are in English, the first question was matrix dfs and the second one was hashmap with random function
There were multiple stages to the process, but the main one of which was technical interviews through digital meetings (Zoom) consisted of 2 meetings, in which you have to solve 1 leet-code style question, levels medium-hard.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google (Tel Aviv-Yafo)
Interview
My application process started in November with two LeetCode-style home assignments. In December, I sat for two technical interviews on Google Meet. Although they were meant to be back-to-back, one was rescheduled after the interviewer didn't show up. I successfully navigated a medium question with a follow-up and a hard DFS/graph problem.
Two weeks later, in January, I moved into the host-matching phase. After one team match interview in February, I wasn't selected, and by April, I received a final update that the process was closing because no further team matches were found.
