Process
They visited my college campus for an interview day.
They conducted two technical interviews for each candidate. The interviews were back-to-back and led by engineers from different Google teams.
I heard back in a week that I was qualified for the host-matching pool, which means my profile was made visible to various Google hiring managers looking to hire interns.
I filled out a questionnaire with questions about my current background and what kind of projects I would like to work on.
Questions
Asked how to compute the sum, average, and median of an array. Then was asked to optimize the algorithm for computing the median.
