Process

A recruiter contacted me for a 45-minute phone interview with a Google engineer.

There were two average coding questions on Google Docs.

I solved both problems correctly, but I did not advance to the onsite interview.

Perhaps my explanations were not clear enough.

Questions

Basic string manipulation and counting.
