Interview questions [1]
Question 1
question about
experience, education, technical questions
There are two rounds of technical interviews. Both questions asked were Leetcode Medium problems. Takes about one month and a half to get the hiring committee result and then maybe another month to get team matched. So slow so I decided to withdraw the application and accepted another offer. Overall good experience.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Jan 2021
Interview
3 rounds of coding interviews, 1 profile interview. Made it to the team match round but didn't get a team.
The question were mostly Leetcode medium, and if you solve the question, progressively more constraints were added.
