Process
I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn. She set up an initial phone "interview" with me to find job openings at Google that were suitable for my background. The recruiter was very nice and helpful. She informed me about the interview stages and how to prepare for them.
The initial stage was a technical phone interview which would involve coding in Google Docs. I gave her my availability, and the interview was set up.
Take as much time as you need to prepare for the technical phone interview. It is best to be prepared than to rush into it. I wasn't well prepared, so I didn't make it to the next stage.
Questions
Agreed to an NDA, so I cannot disclose.
It was a graph-related question, very similar to the graph-related questions on hiredintech.
