Interview
1. Online coding quiz and survey
2. More surveys about yourself and what you want to work on (e.g. projects and your skills), and two back to back phone interviews, each 45mins long. First interview went well, but the second interviewer was kind of irresponsive and was not helpful

Applied directly on Google’s careers site. Received email from HR to fill out form for review, then Google hangout interview. The interviewer was very friendly, but I forgot some very basic stuff. Haven’t heard back from HR, I assume I didn’t get the offer.
