I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Sep 2024
Interview
The process began with an initial conversation where I briefly introduced myself. A few days later, I participated in a technical interview focused on LeetCode-style medium-difficulty problems. The first question involved a two-pointer algorithm, a concept I was well-versed in, and I was able to solve it successfully. The second question was a stack-based problem, which I found more challenging and was unable to complete. As the requirement was to pass both problems, I did not move forward. I later received a notification that the company had decided to proceed with other candidates.
