Process

Referred by a Googler alumnus.

Received an online coding test two weeks after the referral. The phone interviews took place three weeks after that. These were two back-to-back, 45-minute phone interviews, focusing solely on solving algorithm problems.

Passed the interview process two weeks later and began the project search. Contacted by two teams within a week and accepted by one of them.

Questions

Quite difficult binary tree problems in both rounds.
