For students—under-  \ngraduate and graduate—about to headinto industry, job interviews benefitfrom the same level of consideration.There are many books and articles oninterview skills, and most academiccareer centers offer additional train -ing. What this article covers is morespecific: A highlevel view of Google’sengineering interviews.  \nThe interview process at Googlehas been designed (and redesigned!)from the ground up to avoid false posi-tives. We want to avoid making offersto candidates who would not be suc -cessful at Google. (The cost of this un-fortunately includes more false nega-tives, which are times when we turndown somebody who would have donewell.) The recruiters and engineers youwill speak with want to see where youshine, whether you can do the job, andmake sure you’re someone they wantto work with. This article is designedto help both you and Google achievethose goals—and help the interview bean interesting, even pleasant, experi-ence, too.  \nYou will meet at least two types ofGooglers (Google employees) in theinterview process. The first are ourrecruiters. Recruiters are nontechni-cal employees who are experts at bothfinding candidates and helping themthrough the interview process. Thesecond are our technical interviewers;they are fulltime engineers who volun-teer to help with the hiring process byinterviewing candidates like you. Allof our Googlers come from academicbackgrounds and from industry, and  \ncan answer most (if not all) of the ques -tions you might have, including wheth-er Google is likely to be a good fit foryou. So please ask away!  \nThere is a standard format for mosttechnical interviews. (Ph.D. studentsand more experienced candidates maybe given one additional interview witha slightly different format, but similaradvice applies.) For about 45 minutesyou meet with a single technical inter-viewer, who will present a program-ming problem and ask you to work outone or more solutions to it. In some in-terviews, you will be asked to code upone of your solutions on a whiteboard.All of our questions have multiple so -lutions, and some of our questions donot have a single best answer, so if youhave more than one solution, explainthe tradeoffs or the benefits of yourpreferred solution.  \nEach interview day will have up tofive of these 45-minute interviews, de -pending on your schedule, proximityto the nearest office, and intervieweravailability. Candidates living farther  \n  \noverall, theinterviewers aresimply trying todecide one thing:  \nWould you beagood fit for google?  \naway may start with phone interviewsbefore proceeding to an onsite inter-view. The types of interviewers andwhich questions they ask are the samein both cases.  \nLet’s break down a typical inter-view, piece by piece.  \nThe programming problems arenot “trick” questions, but they will al-ways have aspects that require careand attention. First, make sure youunderstand the problem properly. Ithelps to clarify assumptions beforediving in too deeply, and if you are con-fused about the question, do ask forexamples, or for the question to be re -worded. The interviewer will often notoffer information until you ask for it.“How big could the input be?”“Whathappens with bad inputs?” and “Howoften will we run this?” are threecommon clarifications. If you’restuck, one thing to do is recheck yourassumptions.  \nAfter you have the clarifications thatyou need, dive into solving the prob -lem. There are usually several paths toa good solution. Much like math home -work, itis essential to show your work;the way to do this is to talkto the inter-viewer, and explain what you are think-ing. This is easy for some of us, but re -ally hard for others, so itis importantto practice this skill.
