Process

I applied online. The first round was a phone interview, and it took two weeks to schedule.

The coordinators were nice. One was in Mountain View, and the other was in London (I don't know why).

On the day of the phone interview, you need to write code and solve a question in a Google Doc.

Questions

The interviewer asked a question that involves a graph and DFS. I did not answer it very neatly.
