Process

After applying, I was given an over-the-phone interview with two people. The interview lasted about 45 minutes. I was asked a variety of technical questions related to my resume.

After that, I was invited to the Mountain View headquarters for in-person interviews. There were two back-to-back interviews, followed by lunch, then two more back-to-back interviews.

The review questions varied from technical questions related to my background, technical challenges and critical thinking questions, to behavioral questions.

Overall, the interviews were fairly relaxed and felt more like a discussion than a grilling or quizzing.

Questions

There were a couple of questions where I was given some parameters and told to explain how I would design the system from scratch.

It took quite a while to reach a workable solution.
