I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at YouTube in Mar 2014
Interview
a recruiter contact me online and we made a phone interview a couple weeks later. when i passed the phone interview, the next step is on-site, it took about 2 weeks.
Apply it on google, receive the response from recruiter after a weekend and has a 45-minutes Technical interview after three weeks. This was my first interview. I was too nervous and interviewer had an accent, so I waste a lot of time to understand the question itself. The question is to design a class to realize three functions.

Question 1
It is hard to understand the question in a short time when the interviewer has an accent for your first few interviews.
I applied online. I interviewed at YouTube (San Jose, CA) in Jun 2014
Interview
The first round was a telephonic interview. A engineer from Google took the interview and we spoke for about 35 minutes. The question was related to word guessing. I was asked to write a simple implementation or pseudocode. I was also asked about my ideas on how to solve the situation in the best possible way. Big-O notation are also important.

Question 1
The implementation part was difficult. However, with practice we should be able to get through this round fairly easily.
