I applied online. I interviewed at Google in Dec 2021
Interview
Video call interview - standard programming question. Needed to write a unit test and proved my solution worked. (had to write a topological sort for the test) I did it in time.
I never got a callback after that. I thought i nailed it. The HR (recruiting for Taiwan) didn't even reply to my email. This is the second time a google HR (the other was a US recruiter) just flaked on me.
I think i'm done with this company forever.
