Process
I submitted my CV online and was contacted by a recruiter. After communicating with the recruiter, a technical phone interview was scheduled with a coding session via a shared Google Doc. Following the phone interview, a second technical phone interview was scheduled. Google decided not to proceed after the second interview.
Questions
The coding questions weren't particularly difficult; however, they were very open-ended. This means discussing your thoughts out loud as you progress through the question is the most important factor.
