I had a recent opportunity to do an
interview with Google India! While preparing for the interview, the one
thing that i would constantly look for, on the internet, was blogs on
Google Interview Experiences so that i could learn about the pattern of
the interview and the questions.
Well, now that i have an experience of my own, i suppose its my turn to create a blog on it, too.
Before i start with the details, i'd rather mention some dates -
Oct 29th, 2008 - Day of 1st intimation from Google
Nov 3rd, 2008 - 1st Phone Screen
Nov 12th, 2008 - 2nd Phone Screen
Dec 1st, 2008 - 3rd Phone Screen
Dec 22nd, 2008 - Onsite Interview @ Google, Hyderabad
First Intimation from Google!
How did I apply?
There
was an opening for 'Software Engineer New Grad' post at Google Job
Site. I added it to my job cart and applied. Additionally, i had got an
email address of a Google recruiter from a friend. Few days after
applying on the Google Job site, i sent an email to the recruiter too.
That was around mid-october or something.
Oct 29th, 12:15 pm. Previous day was Diwali. I was sleeping (since
an hour only) when i got a call on my cell phone. It was from a Google
Recruiter. She said that they had received my resume and got it
reviewed with a couple of engineers @ Google. And they think that
Google has openings for roles that suit my qualifications. So she
wanted to set up a phone interview.
It was scheduled to be held on Nov 3rd..
