I applied online, had a phone call with a recruiter, and then I was scheduled for an interview. However, the interviewer didn’t show up, and I had to contact support to reschedule.

Unfortunately, they rescheduled my interview to a week when I’ll be on vacation.

I don’t understand how a company like Google can fail to respect a candidate’s time. I spent weeks preparing, and this mishandling completely affected my chances.

Additionally, the entire process is in English, which I’m comfortable with, despite not being a native speaker. However, during the interview, the interviewer used a conference room microphone instead of a headset, which made it difficult to hear him clearly.

The coding question wasn’t overly difficult but was long to implement. The problem description was also lengthy, with a lot of irrelevant information, and 45 minutes at the start of the interview was not enough time.

Overall, I’m disappointed with the process at Google.

Data structure and BFS question.
