Software Developer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I had two coding interviews with Google.
The prompt was given, and the code had to be written in what is essentially a Google Doc with no IDE.
Each interview presented one coding problem.
The interviewer can help guide you.
It's good to ask the interviewer lots of clarifying questions about the prompt.
Questions
I won't give specific questions, but knowing the appropriate data structures to use was very important. Handling concurrency was also very important.
