I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2015
Interview
I applied online. About two weeks later, I got the first phone interview. I passed the first phone interview. But I was rejected by the second phone interview. The interview questions are all about the algorithm.But they care a lot about the edge cases and how you think about these questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. four digits, sum up to 100 and make sure no digits are same. how many combinations
2. list of numbers. concatenate these numbers to get a largest number
I apply online and then they contact me for 2 call interview with coding. It was around 45min interview each of them. mostly the question were about coding and programming.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google
Interview
The interview process was much longer than other companies - two months from initial interview to acceptance. I had one phone screen and 5 on-campus interviews which each lasted an hour. The on-campus interviews were the hardest of any company I've ever interviewed with (including many small companies, Microsoft, and Facebook).
