J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 6 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Google (Mountain View, CA) en avr. 2015
Entretien
Applied online through a job-posting site. Got contacted and passed the phone interview but had to do it again due to barely passing the first time. Then went onsite and did 4 technical interview.
They covered data structures and algorithms you learn in college. Mainly sorting, graphs, string manipulation, and some programming puzzles.

Question 1
Bit manipulation was a big one on the phone. On site it typical programming problems you'd find in a review book.
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
