The interview process at Google is fairly straightforward. I had two 45-minute technical interviews, followed by a lunch interview, and then another two 45-minute technical interviews. The technical interviews consisted of a variety of questions in the realms of algorithm and system design.
I had a fun time at the interviews and learned about the company from the engineers who work there.
