In this article, I will be discussing my interview experience with Google India. Before that I want to tell process before interview.
I updated my LinkedIn profile to open to work and add my experience to get new opportunity. Google HR has contacted me asked for my resume, after a week she set up a telephone interview with her. In that she asked about my work experience and working technologies. She had about 10 questions regrading time complexity of tree, some worst case scenario for data structures, and also some related stacks and queue. In the call itself she said I will have next interview in 2 days.
1st & 2nd round: Problem Solving
- He asked me about my work experience technologies that we are using.
- He gave me DSA question to solve. He didn't want me write the code. First he asked what I understood in given question and asked me to write different testcase.
- Then I said brute force solution for the question. Then he gave same hints in which we can optimize the approach. Asked me what data structure can be used why and why not other type.
- For about 30 minutes he asked different path where code can break and asked how can we handle those cases. He wants to test how better I understand code, how I'm approaching the solutions.
- Then he asked me write code. He was communicating with me in google docs so, he didn't compile code.
- For last 15 mins he asked question about frontend and website working like how can we fast up the website loading and couple question related to it.
I somehow passed first interview and second interview was basically the same process. He asked a DSA question and saw how I'm I approaching the solutions and then code.
Honestly, getting my resume shortlisted for one of the roles at Google was a win for me at that time. I had never interviewed for Google before and hence was a bit nervous. May be I missed this time but hope its helps few.
