Process

The interview process was, all in all, a fun experience. As a college student at an HBCU, the recruiting process felt intimate and hopeful. The recruiters had great energy and wanted us all to do well.

We traveled to the New York City location together on a bus, paid for by Google (nice!). We were able to relax, eat, practice, and enjoy our time before interviewing, which helped lighten any anxiety. By the time I was sent in for my interview, I was calmer and, more than anything, excited.

Questions

My interview question was about linked lists, covering their use and manipulation.
