Process

Initial screening phone call with a recruiter who asked basic computer science questions, such as the time and space complexity of common algorithms.

Next was a technical interview with a Google Engineer experienced in the same areas as me (not sure if this was intentional). She gave me two programming problems to complete.

Had to solve the questions in Google Docs.

Questions
