      Software Engineering Interview

      Jan 9, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Mountain View, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Dec 2016

      Interview

      The current engineering internship interview process consists of two parts, an online take home assessment (consists of two interview questions) and two technical phone interviews. Online assessment questions were average string and tree problems. Phone interviews were on the same level, but with an engineer. Overall the whole process was very standard. They personally phone call applicants that didn't make the cut, which is nice.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Given a list of words, develop two functions to serialize and deserialize into a single string. Given a string in the format: 2(abc)4(df), write a function to decompress the string to the following format: abcabcdfdfdfdf
