Just first round phone interview. HR set up a specific time and a link used for writing code in google doc. The whole interview took 45 minutes, plus question time. In the beginning of the interview, algorithm problems are asked from easy to hard. Time and space complexities are asked for each algorithm.

Interview
Contacted initially by recruiter who was pleasant and gave 25 minute interview. Recruiter then scheduled phone interview with hiring manager. Hiring manager was 11 minutes late for the interview, rushed with the questions which eventually were very vague and loaded. Interrupted during response. No professional etiquette and portrayed Google as a clique. Worse interview experience.

Question 1
This did not matter as interviewer was evidently already in a rush when the interview started and was obviously uninterested from the first question.
