I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Londen, Engeland) in Mar 2016
Interview
Applied online and was offered an interview after about 2/3 weeks. Initially there was some to-and-fro with an internal recruiter before they set up a phont interview . The conversation went well but it was a bit random but was invited in for a interview on site. First and second interview were both cancelled at short notice. Then never got rearranged.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Several questions on Excel functions (not sure if they knew what i was interviewing for ....)
I submitted my resume, waited weeks, then got to do a recruiter screen and a tough coding call. Finally, I got an onsite interview before being told I was rejected
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given integers n, d and three arrays a[], b[], c[] of size n each, print count of all distinct triplets {i,j,k} such that all three conditions satisfy -
abs(a[i]-b[j])<=d,
abs(b[j]-c[k])<=d &
abs(c[k]-a[i])<=d.
n<=100000
(You can assume the arrays are sorted)
Follow up: print all triplets
First round interview, covering mainly brain teasers and experience. Very analytical question list and live problem soling and gaming scenarios. Enjoyable but challenging process, very intelligent interviewers. Following round was a super day
It was very uncertain, overall the area of coverage and expectation was just too much. Must know very deep into the space. I would recommend to study beyond the technicals and more about the space of which the team operated in.
