A culture that really promotes good character (being "Googley") and personal well-being.
The process took about two months. Three algorithm interviews were completed on a shared Google Doc, one every two weeks. The fourth interview was a technical interview conducted via Google Hangout. I was told there would be no onsite interview at
It was overall a good process, with three DSA rounds and one Googlyness round. All of which were medium to hard difficulty. For DSA, prepare LeetCode patterns very well because Google never asks a direct LeetCode question. They have their own unique
The onsite interview consisted of four 45-minute sessions. Interviewers asked questions about graphs and string manipulation. Lunch was with another engineer, offering a chance to ask questions and learn about the campus. The interviewers did not as
