Google Software Engineer interview questions

The final round consisted of 3 interviews and all of them were in a similar vein. They started out with a small problem and asked for the algorithm to solve it and then increased the scale and complexity of the problem. It was an interesting experience, Most questions were simple string based or graph questions. MapReduce was also asked.

As many people know, Google is definitely one of the best companies to work in the world. Interviewers are usually intelligent and vivid. A campus recruiter contacted me via email, and made a schedule to have a talk over the phone. He checked my background and interests and explained the general interview process in Google. Here, you may realize later that it is also a part of evaluation process. He or she tries to see your enthusiasm for digging into new technologies in Google and how you can fit yourself into Google. A week later, I've got a technical interview with an engineer. We spent a half of scheduled interview time (20 min) to introduce my experiences and Q/A about some skills and notion. Then, he asked a simple coding question and requested a solution for a scalability problem.
