I uploaded my resume and got an email for a phone screen. The recruiter called me, and after a few basic questions, set a time for a phone interview. After I passed the first phone interview, there was a second one. After I passed the second one, there was an onsite interview.

I was interviewed by five interviewers onsite. The questions were not really hard, and I answered all of them. I found efficient algorithms as they wanted, and they seemed satisfied, but I was rejected after the onsite interview.

It seems to be really hard to get into, so my advice is: do not focus on Google. Focus on another company. It is probably not worth the time you spend on all these interviews, as the chances are low.

They were all C++ questions:

• Find mean
• Find PageRank
• Find intersection

Then OO and design questions.
