The first step was a snapshot survey and coding sample. The snapshot survey is a brief 15-minute survey to tell them a bit more about your skills, experience, work preferences. The coding sample is 90 minutes to answer 2 questions on their online platform. The questions were not as hard as I expected to get it solved but I think to pass it needs to be very optimal with clean coding.
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Bogotá, Bogota) in Feb 2017
Interview
Google has a personal approach and want to know the candidate really well. The interviews are informal and I felt very relaxed. There is no tricky questions but mostly some prepositions of real situations so that they know how you could handle it. Good to know the google products and culture before interviewing.

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Google in Mar 2017
Interview
Very technical with no behavioral questions. 2 back to back interviews before the second round. HR was very helpful. Make sure to prepare algorithms, computer science basics and structured brain teasers
