Process

I was able to get a recruiter to contact me and ask for my resume by completing Google's Foo Bar challenge.

After that, we scheduled a phone interview with an engineer, where they asked me two string-related coding problems: one easy and one medium.

My recruiter contacted me about four hours later, telling me we were moving on to an onsite.

At the onsite, there were two interviews, one lunch interview, and two more interviews.

Most of the interviewers were really nice, even though I could tell some of them didn't like me much. I only finished early with one of my interviewers, and we had a nice talk afterward. I thought I did okay, but looking back, there were a lot of mistakes I made.

The process was entirely technical and enjoyable, as I'm not very good with behavioral questions.
