I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Dec 2023
Interview
The interview process was straightforward, with two technical interviews of average difficulty. After passing the technical interviews, I was added to a large spreadsheet of potential interns, and had to wait 2 months before hearing back anything about the matching phase. I was put in touch with two different hiring managers for matching, but there wasn't a fit. I ended up accepting another company's offer.

Question 1
Given an array of integers, find the indices of all triplets that sum to 0.
They asked a few leetcode style questions, interviewer was really nice and they also asked about relevant experience. The technical process was pretty quick, the questions seemed more software engineering project related and they also asked about used programming languages.
