Absolutely painful interview. I had to fly out to Mountain View, where I was asked a series of asinine puzzle questions. Of course, they were incredibly contrived, and the interviews seemed completely dispassionate.

The interview process was chaotic; I was handed off across multiple recruiters over the course of just a couple of months. Initially, I was told I would need to go through a phone screen, then that I wouldn't be. Ultimately, I did not participate in

I applied to Google online and, after one day, I received an invitation email for an online coding test. I prepared for it for five days. I was able to arrange a phone interview schedule. I chose a date six weeks later.
