Process
My assigned recruiter stated that Google does not hire anyone who is not specifically "front end" or "back end." They indicated that algorithm design, C/C++, machine learning, and cryptography are not skill sets Google seeks to hire.
This was after they had reached out to me multiple times for my skills in these areas. The recruiter also mentioned that any experience where I held a job title other than Software Engineer (e.g., Cryptographer, Data Scientist, Algorithms Developer) did not count as software experience.
