Process
I applied online. The process took two weeks.
I interviewed at Google in April 2016. A coding challenge was given, which was not that easy. It was followed by a technical interview via phone/Google Docs. The interview was 45 minutes long.
I was asked to write code. After writing the code, I was asked about its efficiency and if I could improve it further.
