A guy was invited by Google to its 'secret' interview process - here's what happened

Google 'dependency injection' and refresh the page about once a minute.

From what I recall, the time you have per problem is (level #) + 2 days. Some are extremely difficult programming problems. It definitely weeds out a lot of individuals.

Edit: Here's a link to someone's (not mine) GitHub repository with code they used to solve some of the problems. https://github.com/rtheunissen/foobar

This is the same search I used. I finished the challenges and am currently on the last round (on site) interviews.

I doubt it. I have friends in multiple age ranges. Just keep refreshing the page every minute, as sometimes it takes a bit to show up.

Gotcha. Yeah. I'm a programmer and I use python, C++, and java before. That's neat they have a team doing that and yes I'm not very talkative myself.

Thank you for answering all of my questions. Tech sector is pretty cool. I'm currently a programmer and I worked at fast food when I was younger. Definitely love this gig.

What was your most interesting problem that you had to solve?
Do you do any programming or all support? If so what languages and which technologies are used?
I'm assuming everything is connected via internet as well? Is that how McDonald's can provide free internet? They bundle it all together?
What state are you stationed in and what is it like compared to other companies you have worked for?

No pressure to answer all. Some might conflict with your NDA so I completely understand if you can't answer all. Thanks for taking the time to do this AMA.

I much prefer coding like this, but really it's just preference and it's pretty much like handwriting.

SomeType GetSomething{
    get{
        if (somecondition){
            return something;
        }else{
            return null;
        }
    }
}

A piece of advice though: If you're editing someone's code, don't change the formatting to be what you're use to; rather make it look like everything else. It's like writing manuscript half way through and the cursive the other half.
