I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google in Oct 2016
Interview
I was referred by a google employee, and I got the interview in one week. It's the Analyst, safety and trust department mainly deal with spam and fraud. I only had the first round interview and didn't pass it. The interview is mainly to know if you have ideas about how to deal with spam.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What kind of spam will have in YouTube and how to deal with them. If you want to have a new office, what aspects should you focus on.
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.
