J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Google (Mountain View, CA) en déc. 2014
Entretien
The whole process was fairly quick, I applied and was promptly assigned a HR person who set up the two coding interviews. After those two interviews I got a call from the HR that I will be in the pool where teams will select me, and I was selected by a team afterwards. Then short interview followed and got the internship.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
given the list of words and a target word, find whether the target word is an anagram of any words in the list
The interview was way more challenging than I anticipated, especially the technical rounds. I was thrown off by the depth of the DSA questions. One standout was a coding question about finding the median of two sorted arrays, which I recognized instantly — it was the same problem I had worked through on PracHub. The behavioral questions felt less intense, but the overall vibe was stressful. Ultimately, I didn’t receive an offer. It was a tough experience, but I'm grateful for what I learned along the way.

Question 1
Given two sorted arrays of size m and n, find the median of the combined sorted array in O(log(min(m,n))) time.
The interviewer was very nice, one interviewer didn't show up so I rescheduled it. When I didn't come up with the best solution, the interveiwer was very patient and give me hint as many as possible
1 screening round + 3 onsite round
All rounds were focused on DSA that included topics like strings, linked list, heap and dynamic programming. Screening round had 2 questions on qualifying which I was eligible for onsite and Googliness rounds. The whole process took nearlying 2.5 months
