Process

I searched for opening positions on LinkedIn and applied on Google's website. I received an opportunity for three phone interviews after one week. I took these three phone interviews after another three weeks.

These three interviews had different styles. Some included high-level questions followed by design problems. Others focused on coding and algorithm design from the beginning to the end.

Questions

Signed NDA.

Some basic algorithm questions and two high-level questions.
