I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Google in Aug 2018
Interview
Applied online. Got an email to schedule an interview call in a couple of days. Two 45 minute interview calls back-to-back. The first interviewer was friendly and helpful. Like other people here have said, it was more like a discussion. The second interviewer was rather curt and rude. He had a strong accent and explained the problem really badly to begin with. It took me a good 7-8 minutes to understand the problem statement, which could've been easily explained in 2 sentences (or better still, typed out). From then on, he was absolutely silent the whole way and would give one-word answers to my queries. Contrasting experiences with the two interviewers really.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
String manipulation questions. I'd say equivalent to Leetcode 'medium' level difficulty.
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.
