Process
I applied online.
The interview process for New Grad SDE at Google consisted of 4 rounds — 3 DSA rounds and 1 behavioral round. The technical interviews focused mainly on coding problems related to heaps, stacks, and dynamic programming, with discussions around approach, optimization, and time complexity. The behavioral round was based on teamwork, past projects, and communication. Overall, the experience was smooth and the interviewers were friendly and supportive.
Questions
