Interview
I applied online through a referral and was contacted by a recruiter in about 3 weeks (this happened in late november). I was given a coding sample and a few surveys, which I thought I did well on. However, in about a week I was notified that they would not be moving forward.
I applied online. I interviewed at Google in Oct 2018
Interview
There were two technical interviews back to back each of 45mins. The first interviewer was pretty nice and guided me along the way offering clarification and suggestions. He also answered all my questions with utmost politeness and involvememnt. The second interviewer was very disinterested, did not offer a problem statement, provided a very vague description and was downright unfriendly.
