Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Google (Mountain View, CA) en mar 2010
Entrevista
Sent a mail to Google recruiter who was prompt to call me. After initial screening, she setup a phone screen with someone in engineering team. At the last moment, the person who was supposed to interview was not available and someone else called me.
Questions were fairly straight forward.

The interview was way more challenging than I anticipated, especially the technical rounds. I was thrown off by the depth of the DSA questions. One standout was a coding question about finding the median of two sorted arrays, which I recognized instantly — it was the same problem I had worked through on PracHub. The behavioral questions felt less intense, but the overall vibe was stressful. Ultimately, I didn’t receive an offer. It was a tough experience, but I'm grateful for what I learned along the way.
