Two phone screens followed by an on-site interview. I was very surprised that I had only three interviews on the Google campus, as I had been flown in from 10,000 miles away.

The phone interviews were much more difficult than the ones on-site, which consisted of sophomore-year computer science questions. I did not get an offer, even though I did not make any mistakes. It was very weird that no one asked me about my graduate work (I am about to graduate).

I believe my on-site interviewers were junior engineers who could not come up with good questions and write a strong evaluation.

If someone on Google's hiring committee reads this post: please do not fly people from the other side of the world for a total of 135 minutes of interview time with mediocre engineers.

Here's the text to clean up:

• A BST question.
• A string manipulation question.
• A simple BigData question.
• BFS, DFS, and interval trees.
• OS and compiler-related stuff.
