I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Google in Nov 2020
Interview
I applied on Google Careers page for the role, and was shortlisted within a week. I had my first phone screen in 2-3 weeks, so I had plenty of time to prepare. After I passed the phone screen, my next round of interviews was 2 months later. This round had 3 interviews in the same day, all technical.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The first question was about guessing a secret string based on some score a guessed string would get. The objective was to make as few guesses as possible.
The second question was a find the minimum cost path in a grid type of problem.
The third was a very simple DP problem.
1 coding assessment. If you pass, you get to the final round which consists of 4 rounds in one day. 3 technical and one behavioral. The algorithms I had was BFS, Min heaps, and backtracking(parentheses)
Got an OA first.
And an interview call.
Question was backtracking leetcode.
i would say a medium-hard question . I was able to solve it but still got rejected. I was hoping for second on site round. idk why .
But i think my interviewer is not in interested in my code like she is not even correcting me.
