The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in Jan 2011
Interview
Contacted by google recruiter to schedule the phone screen interview. I set it up for a couple of weeks later because I was too busy at work. The questions during the phone interview were not very difficult, but I could definitely have done better if I had some more time to prepare. Definitely dust off algorithms, data structures, and read some coding related interview books. If I took a couple of months to do that I'd definitely ace this. The guy was very nice, gave a hint when he felt I need one. Although I came to a solution it wasn't optimal. There was also a coding question which we did through a google-doc. Make sure to take time to double check all cases for the coding solutions. After the interview I found that the problems were part of a standard list of google problems. **Find the median of a very large dataset distributed over several network nodes. ** the coding question was something about writing an iterator.
