Process

I applied on the Google website in late February.

About three days later, a recruiter sent me an email and gave me some material on how to prepare for the interview and the interview process.

Then, a recruit coordinator sent me an email about scheduling the interview.

I took the interview four weeks later because I wanted to prepare.

The first round consisted of three 45-minute phone interviews.

Two weeks later, I was refused.

Questions

Some coding questions and behavior questions.
