Process

I was contacted by a recruiter about a position at Google.

I then had a technical skills phone interview where I wrote out code on my personal computer while the interviewer "watched" remotely.

Following that, I was brought onsite for a technical interview comprised of five rounds of approximately 45-minute interviews. The onsite process also included a break for lunch.

Questions

As per the agreement, I am unable to say what the questions were.

They can be tough, but they really are fair Computer Science questions.
