Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto 3 mesi. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso YouTube (Mountain View, CA) nel mese di feb 2015
Colloquio
2 Phone screens + Onsite Interview consisting of 4 45-minute technical interviews and 1 non-technical interview over lunch.
Questions from Career Cup and "Cracking the Coding Interview" are good ways to brush up. Know Java or C++ well. Definitely practice coding by hand rather than with a computer. Talk through your answers and design an algorithm before you start coding. If you can usually code good/optimal solutions to two unfamiliar questions on Career Cup by hand in under 45 minutes, you're in good shape.
Ultimately I made it to the hiring committee, but they opted not to hire me because my technical answers weren't quite good enough. YouTube/Google is, at the end of the day, looking for engineers with really, really strong coding chops and the ability to decompose technical questions into more familiar CS problems (quickly). I could have studied more, and it cost me.
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
Questions about algorithms to which I was expected to code a response on a whiteboard. Big-O runtime estimation of my answers. Test cases for my answers. When I was able to answer a question, there would usually be a follow up consisting of a more complicated version of the original problem or a special case.
It was a 3 round interview process with 2 technical rounds and 1 HR round. I was mostly asked DSA focused questions. Trees, heap, graphs and sliding window were mostly stressed for me.

Colloquio
Long and slow. There were four rounds of interviews spanning over a month and they don't get back to you quickly. The interviews themselves were ok and took an hour each.

The interview process was demanding as they asked several questions about my masters degree thesis and on my research projects, which were challenging to remember as I had done these more than 7 years ago.
