First time got interviewed by Google. Went through a 30-min recruiter phone screen. It was on Google Meet. Recruiter basically asked several behavioral questions and one hypothetical question. At the end, recruiter gave honest feedback on my answers. A fruitful learning experience.

amazing feedback. really interesting. definitely focused on your standard state method as demonstrated in so many interviews. i think i was nervous too. probably the biggest hurdle was articulating ai use cases.

Question 1
what was a time where you faced an unexpected challenge? how did you deal with it?
5 interviews across 2 days. Had a change to preview the interview with a non-hiring peer. That was very helpful. Questions we not what I would call tough, but i was told after the interviews that I didnt always add enough detail.
