Google Intern Software Engineer interview questions

The questions mostly dealt with basic data structures and algorithms. Though the questions themselves were not difficult, the interviewer expected me to know quite a few intricate details. Looks like they expected perfect solutions as opposed to just solutions.

But that’s not the only way analytics have shaped the process. Google used to conduct many interviews before settling on a job candidate and making an offer. But through analytics, the company has determined that after four interviews, they don’t achieve a much greater degree of confidence about whether the interviewee is a good fit for a position. As a result, they’ve capped the number of interviews that they’ll put a candidate through. Data also have led Google to conclude that speed is of the essence when it comes to hiring recent graduates.
