Process

There was a phone screen, and then a 4-hour interview process. It included behavioral and 3 technical interviews. They asked about almostanagram and normal numislands. The first interviewer showed up thinking it was supposed to be a technical interview, and then pivoted to behavioral when I mentioned it.

Questions

The topics were almost anagram and normal NumIslands. Why Google?
