Process

A recruiter reached out to me. We chatted on the phone, and I completed a code screen that lasted an hour. For the screen, I had to solve two problems in pretty much any language I wanted.

After that, I had a phone interview with an engineer at Google. This involved typing code into a Google Doc, which was a bit strange.
