I was referred by a Googler.

I must admit that Google is really efficient. A recruiter contacted me just one day after I received the referral confirmation email.

I was required to provide an unofficial transcript (yeah, I'm a new grad). My phone interview was scheduled two weeks later.

I failed the phone interview. It's really weird that the recruiter didn't send me a rejection email but instead emailed me to schedule a phone call to tell me the result. I've heard that many recruiters from Google deliver bad news this way. Maybe it's a method Google believes shows candidates sufficient respect. However, it made me feel really bad to hear "Unfortunately, bla bla bla" through a phone call.

Data structure and algorithm questions related to sorting and priority queue.
