Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

First, a 30-minute call with the recruiter.

Then, an online coding interview which I completed in 30 minutes, allowing me to chat with the interviewer for another 15 minutes.

Second round of coding interview on-site.

It was a sliding window question, which is considered easy for Google.

System design was harder than expected, with lots of questions about scalability.
