Nearly all the questions were coding/problem-solving specific problems. I think I used the white board for all of them. That list you pointed to seems like a compilation of random well-known brain teasers from the Internet--I think I've seen all of them at some point. I was asked no brain teasers (not to say someone else won't be, though) Ken, no I was not asked any of those questions or anything like them (with the possible exception of #4–which is technical, and I did study it, but was not asked).

I would like your opinion of the following website. It claims to list 'crazy' questions asked on Google interviews. Where you asked any questions of this nature or is this site just another "urban myth"? http://tihomir.org/crazy-questions-at-google-job-interview/ Thanks, Ken You state the Google did not ask you any ‘stupid’ questions.

My interview went the same way as yours, more or less, and they ended up rejecting me. They said "Don't hesitate to apply again in the future, but at this time we are going to pass." Oh, well.

I haven't heard from them since then, though. It's been a week and I am sure Thanksgiving holidays aren't helping. I too am reasonably happy with my current job and didn't even expect to pass the phone interview with Google and decided to interview with them out of curiousity. But now I feel if they made me an offer I'd seriously consider it, given that it seemed like a very nice place for a technologist to be in. How long did you wait before they got back to you ?
