Can I ask what interview stage you were asked these in, and what level the position was for?

While these are good questions, in my experience they're so widely known from books/websites that I'd be amazed if a company like Google was using them for anything other than early screening of candidates.



I did the phone screen, plus on-site interviews. It was for a developer position - I've got 10 years experience.

I was going for an overseas position, which complicated the process, because they had to fly me to another city for a combination of onsite and video interviews.

Obviously they asked other questions, too.

My impression was that they hadn't planned on doing another round of interviews, but the mixed feed back I got confused them (I did very well on at least on question, but totally bombed on another). Who knows, though - the whole interviewing process was a bit of a mess to be honest.
