Process

I sent my resume to a few Google employees and heard back from the recruiter the next day. The phone screen was very straightforward, covering basics in computer security, some programming, etc. I then had a day-long interview in Kirkland, consisting of five one-hour interviews.

I cannot go into detail about the questions due to a non-disclosure agreement, but the focus was on data structures and algorithms. Hash tables, heaps, graphs, and depth-first search seemed to be favorites.

Questions

None of the questions were what I had seen before. However, none of them were very difficult either.
