Process
The interview was conducted via Google Meet. Two 45-minute interview sessions were held back-to-back, with a 15-minute break in between.
They were very helpful in guiding me toward the right direction for the solution. They frequently asked about the Big O complexity and how to optimize it for lower complexity. They were nice and patient.

Excellent place for an internship, not so well for full time
Software Engineering • Former Employee
November 23, 2017
Pros: - Really fun place.
- Very good benefits (free food, gym, massage, monthly bus ticket, events).
- Smart people all around.
- Good SWE practices.
- Good compensation and good career opportunities.
Cons: Everyone is on their own (no teamwork), and your teammates really don't care about you (although they try hard to look like they do, which is "extremely" bad).
Google becomes the only thing in your life after some time; they try to make you live on campus by strategically providing everything you need, resulting in a bad work/life balance.
People are not passionate about what they do; most of them are actually bored, which affects you as well after some time.
Most projects have little impact or provide little real-life value.
All in all, it's definitely not a place for people with an entrepreneurial mindset.
