Process

The recruiter who contacted me was very helpful. She described to me how the interview would be, what to expect, what not to expect, and what the interviewers were looking for, pretty well without a single hint of any question. She did her job well.

The interviewers were very kind, helpful, and nice. They asked very smart, algorithm-based questions. There were no tricky questions. They had a positive attitude, and they wrote down every single word I spoke or wrote on the whiteboard.

I didn't make it, but I had a nice experience at Google. By the way, I had an awesome lunch in one of their cafeterias too!

All in all, a good experience!
