Has anyone ever taken Google's secret interview?

[sjahmed23]

Well today I was searching up something on google at work for an assignment and suddenly I see a message appear on my search result page and it said something like you speak our language. Up for a challenge? I accepted and got to this webpage which has a unix command line and its asking me to solve some problems.

I was wondering if anyone else has run into this before and what was your experience like?

I haven't done it, but I heard if you solve the challenges, they ask for some information and then they might contact you. After that, I doubt it is any different from their regular recruiting process.

Do you mind telling what you searched for?

Google knows you have shared this "secret" to whole world so watch out now!

So, did you solve the problems?

There are 5 levels. I did the first one, it was pretty simple. I will attempt the second one again today after reviewing some DS and Algos.

I got this message after searching dependency injection on google.

I think you blew your chances by making this thread.

Number 1 rule about Google interviews is you don't talk about Google interviews.

Did get there once but I don't know much about Python. If I had the option to do challenges in PHP/JavaScript, then I would have probably completed them.
