Extremely intelligent and competent coworkers, exciting products, great management, amazing perks (insurance options, food, discounts on almost everything), and the opportunity to travel.
Dated facilities (Googleplex), difficult to find common workspaces and meeting rooms, average paid vacation time, long work hours.
Improve the quality of the Googleplex facilities and promote a stronger work-life balance.
It was going not too bad. The coding and design problems were not very hard. Unfortunately, because it was only two weeks since the recruiter reached out to me and gave me an onsite interview directly, I didn't have enough time to prepare well.
Phone Call Onsite 5 interviews Questions were okay, mostly algorithm-based. Practice on a whiteboard and try to solve problems a lot. There is a book by Career Cup that can be helpful. Apart from that, I guess it will depend on your experience.
One of the interviewers was 15 minutes late. I expected a coding question but was asked something quite math-heavy. He asked me whether I know convolution (which might make sense given it was likely an ML role).
