Process

A recruiter contacted me through LinkedIn, and the process took about two weeks.

First, I talked with a recruiter, and then I had a technical phone interview with one of Google's software engineers. The interviewer was very proud of working at Google. When he asked me if I had any questions, he wanted me to ask a question about Google.

Questions

It wasn't a difficult question.

It was just one of the questions from the "Cracking the Coding Interview" book.
