Process
The interview process involved a variety of steps. It began with a behavioral interview. The interviewer was professional, very nice, and interested in learning more about me. The process also included at least two technical questions. These questions were not easy, but I feel that with good studying and practice, they would have been manageable.
Questions
Q: Why do you think you would be a good fit at Google?
Q: What do you seek to improve on?
And then a variety of NDA-covered technical questions!
