But this was the third or fourth round. By then you might expect a meaty discussion about file systems rather than a trivia quiz.

- danielmarkbruce 5y agoI'm not 100% certain of this, because I don't know what job they ask a question like that for. It isn't a software engineering interview. However, generally: The rounds don't build on each other. You have X interviews and the interviewers don't talk to each other and are independent events. They have gone through phases of having an initial phone screen interview which is a hurdle, but the rest are(/were) as laid out above. There may be exceptions for very senior people, but they are sufficiently rare to exclude. Google has it's problems to be sure - but by and large the individual people there mean well.
