Software Engineer Interview
Anonymous Interview Candidate in New York, NY
Application Details
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks - interviewed at Google in August
2014.
Interview Details
My interview and hiring process was extremely tiring but satisfactory. I
dropped out of college and cancelled my plans to study in an university
because I wasn't learning anything there. I studied and mastered computer
science alone at home within 2 months. Although I am just 19, I decided to
apply for Google and I wouldn't care if I got rejected really. I applied
online and quite suprisingly; they replied back the next day to set-up an
phone interview. They asked a few question and then told me "Alright, we'll
call you again next week." And when they did that the next week, they
invited me for an on-site interview. I met some interesting people there,
and most of them were amazed due to the fact that I dropped out of college
but had the abilities and in-depth knowledge of a Harvard-graduate software
engineer, also because I am just 19. Some guy named Paul came to me and
asked me a brain-teasing question about algorithms and I gave him back a
cheesy, but informative answer and he told me "You're probably going to get
accepted."
During the on-site interview, they asked me long questions and gave me
difficult tests/tasks on:
1. Recursions
2. Dynamic Programming
3. Graphs
4. Data Structures
5. Problem-solving query test
6. Array and Tree
7. Computer architecture (binary search, low level enhancement...etc)
They gave me some stuff related to graphs and recursion to build over, it
was mind-boggling like hell. But that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. I like
challenges, and Google managed to give me those....a LOT of those.
The interviewer's name was Caleb, and he said that I fulfill the criteria of
a Google software engineer, and thus; they hired me immediately. Caleb was
a fun person, I enjoyed being interviewed by him. He also said that I am the
YOUNGEST software engineer in the history of Google, I felt really proud at
that time. He gave me lots of compliments after the interview like "You're
an exceptional person" - Google interviewers are extremely nice and
respectful, you don't need to be nervous around them.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details Tiring but satisfactory. I negotiated a $190,000 per-
year salary and an $5k starter bonus.

发帖数: 76 | 8 我刚才在Glassdoor检举了这条feedback了。
Google招聘通常是先过了面试然后送Hiring committee，我记得
HC的人根本和面试官是不同一批人，然
后最后还有上层的Executive committee。
而且我记得每个interviewer是看不到其他人的feedback的，所以不可能
其中一个人有权力拍板而不经过committee。 |
