      Software Engineering Interview

      May 3, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Google in Nov 2016

      Interview

      I applied online for internship and the recruiter contacted me for the same in Oct 2016. I was given a form to fill my preferences for interview. I submitted that on 6th Nov. Then, I received an email after 2 days about the interview timings and everything. There were two technical phone interviews with a 15-minute break in between.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      1. Given a file with all the strings on each line, write an algorithm to remove all the duplicates and return all the unique strings. I had practiced this question before so I felt like wow. So he first asked me, what kind of data structure I would use and after that what will be the time complexity of this program? I answered it correctly. Duration was 45 minutes. - I found this question in 'Cracking the coding interview' - PLEASE REFER. You will find this book tougher than your internship interview.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Second question was to convert the string input "123" into an integer input 123. First I got confused and she hinted me with some ideas and then I performed. I found this question in 'Programmming Interviews exposed' - PLEASE REFER.
