      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Google

      Interview

      I applied for the position online. A recruiter reached out and scheduled two back to back phone interviews. The first one was behavioral and included a code reading portion, and the second one was a technical coding question.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google in Nov 2014

      Interview

      I applied online early October, and got selected for two phone interviews a week later or so. I provided them with dates I was available to interview, but didn't hear back from them. The day before my last requested interview date, I emailed my recruiter to ask if they were still scheduling me an interview, and they asked if I could do it the next day. So my back-to-back interviews came as a bit of a surprise. I was told that my first interview would address my resume and projects I've done in the past. Instead, I got a coding question that threw me off a bit. The second interview was also coding, and the interviewer was pleasant to ask questions to. In late November, however, I was notified that Google wanted me to do a third interview because they were missing some information. So I interviewed a third time a week later, which had a superb interviewer who tailored to my level. I progressed to the hiring committee (probably the most anxiety-provoking part), and got an offer the day coming back from winter break.

      Can't disclose them, but Google provides applicants with some resources to practice beforehand that are pretty helpful.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Google

      Interview

      Short essay responses included with resume and then 2 back to back 45 minute interviews, both technical questions. Nothing very complicated (certainly not the level you get for the real software engineering internship) but they're still looking for smart people who absolutely know their stuff. It's important to review your computer science courses and understand fundamentals, but don't expect some crazy question from Leetcode to pop up.

      Interview

      Applied online and heard back about two weeks later. There were two technical phone interviews, 45 minutes each. Interviewers were super friendly. The interviews were mostly technical, and the second interviewer asked a few questions about my resume.
