Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

It was very stretched and difficult. It took almost a month just to schedule a first phone screen. The process was generic, with any next interviewee coming from a global pool, not necessarily from the same team/department. The interviewer asked some difficult questions with very little hint. Somehow, I managed to answer/write code along similar lines.

I spent 35 minutes on this question, and then he said he had one more coding question, but we were running out of time and ended the interview 15 minutes early. So, for them, those 35 minutes were enough to decide that I cannot apply to Google for the next 12 months.
