Lots of activities and plenty of time for training courses. Personal calls, printing, etc., were allowed. They even let me borrow an Ethernet cable when I arrived without one.
"Tech Talks" offered a chance to ask Larry and/or Sergey questions.
I was a Java programmer, not seated near project teammates or other Java programmers, and was on a floor with no cubicle walls.
I relied on headphones for noise control whenever I needed to think deeply (which, as an undergrad intern, was more often than for full-time engineers).
More emphasis on placing teammates together. More support is needed in implementing OSS authentication clients, which would eliminate the need for an F/T engineer on many small internal apps. Employees with Asperger's/ADHD need walled cubicles to control distractions.
Applied online and was contacted the next day. Interview scheduling was really prompt as well. There were two back-to-back technical interviews. The first interviewer asked a little about my resume and projects that I had worked on.
The early "phone screen" rounds caught me somewhat off guard. Online, I read that I would have around 45 minutes to work on the problem, with the rest of the time dedicated to getting to know the interviewer and so on. In reality, I only had 45 minut
Two simple phone interviews were conducted, where I was asked to solve problems in any language on Google Docs. Advanced data structures and algorithms are a must. I failed the second interview because I didn't know of a "trie".
