>Phone screen interview with Google. Interviewer asked about how I would keep track of the nth highest value in an infinite stream of values...Then interviewer asked to me write the code for that heap in a Google Doc.
I guess at least you had Google Doc to presumably share with the interviewer... I remember a phone screen about 20 years ago where the guy asked me to write some C code (of course position wouldn't involve C...) and then repeat back over the phone character by character what I had written. I got through the phone screen and invited to an onsite, but the process was so utterly stupid that it pretty much permanently turned me off of that household name company in Seattle.
