Process

I was contacted by a recruiter who told me about the phone screen. The interview scheduling was very flexible, so I decided to set aside a month or so to prepare for it.

After the phone interview, I was invited for an onsite interview in Mountain View. It was basically like any other description of the Google interview process, with two interviewers in the morning, a casual lunch interview, and two more interviewers after lunch.

After the interview, I heard back from the recruiter in a few days, who told me the news.

Questions
