Interview:

According to Rohan, Google interviews were not as tough as he had imagined. After the email correspondence with Google HR, two telephonic interviews were performed, where the Google employees interviewed him.

"It was essentially applying your knowledge in a very practical situation. It's figuring out if you can scale a system, or you can make something much more efficient,” said Rohan about the technical questions he faced in interview.

Shah got a call from Google, one week after telephonic interviews. It was followed by more interviews "I had interviews with around five different teams," told Rohan. They were meant to figure out which department he would like to intern for. Finally he joined as an intern for Google’s Android department.

A Google intern doesn’t have to worry about his stay, food or commute. Shah was put in the Google- paid corporate housing in San Jose, with fellow interns. Google has its own free shuttles throughout the Bay Area, including San Francisco, San Jose, Palo Alto and Berkeley to pick up and drop employees who are going and returning from work.
