I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Google in Dec 2012
Interview
Sent my resume, got a call from a recruiter and then a phone screen interview. The interviewer asked me to implement a function that takes a string with '?' marks and returns all possible values when '?' is replaced with '0' or '1.
for example: "1?" would print out:
10
11
1?? will print:
100
101
110
111
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing was too difficult, but the process is bad because they won't tell you why they won't continue with you.
Initial intro call, prep time , prep material provisions,
1 Phone Screening by HR, 3 DSA, 1 HLD and 1 Googliness, Team matching and offer negotiation and offer discussion , offer acceptance
After clearing all the interviews in 2 months, here comes the team match. Where no one ever knows when they gonna get a team match call. Even if you get the TM call next comes the HC again no one knows why they reject.

Question 1
Coding questions from Leetcode google tagged but deep dived into it based on the level.
The interview lasted about a day, with 5 different interviewers. For each section, the technical questions took most of the part. They also showed me their office in Toronto, which was nice
