Process
I contacted a recruiter I knew at Google.
He quickly put me in contact with the right person for the position.
The whole experience was smooth and professional. The interviewer guided me very well through the process, always following up and making sure that I had all the info I needed.
As to the process:
- A phone call with a recruiter
- A coding interview on the phone
- An on-site day with 5 interviews (1 coding, 2 system design, 2 leadership)
