J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. J'ai passé un entretien chez Google (Mountain View, CA) en mars 2018
Entretien
One phone interview, 5 onsite interviews (including 1 on research background) in Mountain View, CA. Someone on Google's Ph.D Engagement team contacted me, and I applied through them. I have applied for internship twice before, once passed the interviews but couldn't find matching team.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Interview 1: simple algorithms on tree
Interview 2: simple application of heap
Interview 3: splitting a rectangle into squares
Interview 4: variants of finding shortest path between grid cells, extension for multithreading
Interview 5: segment tree
In general, not very difficult or surprising for me. Preparation is definitely required. It might not be too hard for me because I have long time interest in coding algorithms for fun, and to serve my Phd research.

Entretien
One or two rounds of virtual interviewing including behavioral, research discussion, and technical interview. Then was flown out to one of their campuses for two in-person interviews including a technical interview and a research discussion. I was rejected after this phase but the next steps would have included meetings with team leaders for team placement.

The interviewer called while I was working on a Google Doc. Initially, I was stuck. During the conversation, he provided helpful hints, and at the end, I was allowed to ask any questions.
