Process

I only got as far as the first phone interview.

After sending my contact information through a university event, a Google recruiter contacted me directly. She was the most helpful recruiter I've ever dealt with, and she made me feel like I was valuable to them.

She contacted me via email, then we did a phone screen. After that, she was very flexible in letting me schedule the technical phone interview two months later.

Questions

A coding challenge equivalent to something from Google Code Jam round 1.
