The OA consisted of three parts:

DSA Problems: One easy and one medium problem. I finished both in 20 minutes.

Work Simulation Round: This had 5–6 modules where I was bombarded with emails and had to select appropriate responses. It also included real-world problem-solving, like debugging an issue where a product page wasn’t loading. This round was mainly designed to assess my decision-making and leadership principles.

Behavioral Questions: Multiple-choice format where I had to pick the most likely and least likely responses to different workplace scenarios.

I felt the OA went well, and on November 25, I received an email asking me to fill out a survey to be considered for the next stage.

This was a DSA round with a very senior engineer as the interviewer. I was asked only one question on Graphs, where I had to code everything from input handling to output printing. The choice of data structure was important.

The problem was the Currency Converter problem (Link). https://leetcode.com/discuss/interview-question/483660/google-phone-currency-conversion
