Process

I submitted my resume online and got an email to set up a phone interview about two weeks later.

The phone interview was a simple technical interview where I had to write code on a shared Google Doc.

I received an email the next day for setting up another phone interview with a different engineer. The second phone interview was also a 45-minute technical interview.

Then, I was invited to fly to Mountain View for a one-day interview. There were four rounds of 45-minute technical interviews each.
