Process

Awesome experience, first onsite at the Google Sunnyvale campus. It was highly professional, and everyone was supportive during the interview process. The interviews consisted of:

  • 4 Algorithm and Data Structure interviews (45 minutes each)
  • 1 lunch meeting
  • 1 System Design interview

Three days after my onsite interviews, the recruiter scheduled a call to discuss the outcome. She said I did well in most areas, but they were still looking for more strong data points.

Questions

You will face different algorithm and data structure questions. You have to answer all questions they ask about a given problem, including space and time complexity, how it works, and how you approach it. Only then will they allow you to continue with coding.

They take notes on each answer you give and also take a snapshot of your code.

Overall, a very good experience.
