Process

I applied on the Google website for the fall internship. They sent me a test on the second day after applying. The test contained two questions: one string question and one number question. The questions were of average difficulty if you practice a lot.

Then I was given a chance for phone screen interviews. There were two separate technical interviews. They asked easy questions first, and then hard questions. Time complexity made the questions hard.
