Software Developer Interview Experience

Process

I was contacted by a recruiter through a friend who referred me.

After speaking with the recruiter (general background information), they called me for a 1:1 interview.

I spoke with two interviewers, each for around 45 minutes. The interviews included some background information, general algorithmic questions, and some coding on a whiteboard. At the end, they shared their experiences working with Google.

A week later, I received a reply stating that they were not interested.

Questions

Don't want to give too many details (there was an NDA), but do brush up on Dynamic Programming and Graph concepts.
