Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I have been contacted by Google's talent acquisition service.

After a first phone screening interview, where I was asked easy questions, they decided to proceed further.

I then had a second interview (management) via Hangouts.

Following that, I had a third interview (technical), also via Hangouts.

Questions

How do you manage underperforming people?

What can you say about TCP sequence numbers?

How does the SPDY protocol work?

Was this helpful?
