I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google in Jan 2017
Interview
I applied in mid-November, and I heard back in early December. I had two interviews back-to-back in January. Both interviewers were helpful in guiding me through the process. It was my first technical interview, so I was nervous. I was able to solve the problems, but I don't think I did the best job in explaining my thought process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked about my resume
The two problems I was given were about arrays and array manipulation.
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.
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.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Google
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.
