I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Jul 2023
Interview
2 45-minute technicals with a FT Engineer. The first interviewer didn't show up, so it was chaotic trying to get a hold of my recruiter to figure out how to proceed. I was offered a third interview, probably because the review committee was on the fence. During my third interview the interviewer was distracted on a different tab or looking at their phone.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tree construction and traversal, traveling knapsack-like problem, DP. Leetcode medium-hard.
I have not prepared well. I was unable to solve any of the two problems given. The teat was of moderate to hard level. Don't give google test without preparation. It will be totally waste of time and effort.
Leetcode Mediums/Easies. One very specific difficult math question. Generic behaviorals questions about my past experience/school experience. Initial code screen followed by 2 phone interviews, then 3 phone interviews. No Offer extended
