Question 1
Several tough questions to solve with expected output and time complexity
One easy leet code screen and two phone interviews.
The initial screen might take into account how much time you put into it since it was so easy.
Phone interviews were conducted over google docs which was certainly unusual.

Simple undergraduate algorithms concepts and data structures.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in Oct 2020
Interview
Medium leet code questions. Two phone calls, and then rejection. Second phone call came late because the interviewer forgot. Easy process overall. I stumbled on the second interview, which is why I think i got rejected. Friendly staff.
