Process
The first round was at my school. We completed 3 interviews, which were about 30 minutes each, testing my ability to code on the fly in my choice of programming language (Java, C++, Python, or Go if you know it).
After passing this round of interviews, I entered a project matching interview process. This involved 30-minute phone interviews with potential hosts.

Google Work Experiences
- 4.0Still a good company, but may not be the best anymoreSoftware Engineering • Former EmployeeMountain View, California, United StatesSeptember 12, 2008Pros: Cutting-edge technology, a famous brand, and good food. The good weather here in Mountain View, CA is also a good reason. If you are tired of the free food here, go get some decent dinners on Castro Street nearby. You can also learn a lot from tech talks, open days, the MoMA, and the code tree itself. Google's codebase may not be the biggest, but its quality is the best in the world.Cons: It is a good place for college graduates, but it may not be good for ambitious people. The decision to quit is difficult because of the perks, the good food, and the admiration from people around you when they know you are a Googler. But there is a reason for so many talented people to leave this company...
