I applied online. I interviewed at Google in Dec 2021
Interview
Video call interview - standard programming question. Needed to write a unit test and proved my solution worked. (had to write a topological sort for the test) I did it in time.
I never got a callback after that. I thought i nailed it. The HR (recruiting for Taiwan) didn't even reply to my email. This is the second time a google HR (the other was a US recruiter) just flaked on me.
I think i'm done with this company forever.

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
