Process

I spoke with a recruiter first, and she set up a phone screen interview. It consisted of standard algorithm and data structure questions. I received a call for in-house interviews soon after. I interviewed at Mountain View. I had five interviews, each 45 minutes long, plus a lunch discussion. I made some mistakes in a couple of interviews, but nothing to complain about. The interviewers were awesome, and it was an excellent experience overall.

Questions

Mostly algorithms and data structures related.
