Google Software Development Engineer In Test interview questions

Hiring process starts with phone screen. Once you are through it, you are called to Google head quarters in Mountain View, CA. Here I had 4 rounds of interview and a lunch break in-between. They book tickets for your travel and hotel and reimburse your expenditure during your stay. I must say Google HRs are really helpful in making me understand entire interview process and giving suggestions for the same.

I applied through employee referral. HR called me within two days after sending resume. A phone interview is arranged a week later. I was interviewed by a SET from Bangalore. He asked me simple coding questions and writing test cases for it. I was informed that I've cleared the phone screen within 2 hours. Then onsite interview is arranged two weeks later and I flew to Hyderabad. I had 5 onsite rounds each consisting of 2-4 questions. Questions were focusing on efficient coding using data structures, writing test cases for it and write test code. During the interview I was continuously updating my thought process to them which helped me to get nice hints from them whenever I deviate from the right path to solution. I was able to ask them many questions relating google products and SET's work and they were answering my questions patiently! I was taken to cafe with another SET for lunch where I got to know the work environment and other related stuffs! The overall interview process was good. I was constantly updated by my HR about the feedback processing and I got my results in two weeks time!
