Process

Skipped the phone screen because I had a competing offer.

I completed five 45-minute interviews at the Mountain View HQ.

The interview questions were the hardest I've ever seen, very technical and CS-heavy. I was exhausted by the end, but most interviewers were fair.

Questions

Cannot discuss due to NDA, but the interview was heavy on difficult algorithm questions.

Was this helpful?
