Process
I received the interview invitation on LinkedIn and attended the live stream event.
(It takes some time to arrange the interview time via email rather than a booking system if you need a more specific time period.)
- Pre-screen (30-50 min)
- Phone interview (50 min, Google Hangout)
- HR call (Reject)
Questions
Given an integer array and a target number, return an expression that equals the target number, or return -1 when it is not possible.
Note: The expression consists of all numbers in the array, any number of "+-*/" (four arithmetic operations), and "()" (parentheses).

Google Work Experiences

- 4.0Excellent perks & Infrastructure, so-so leadershipSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeMountain View, California, United StatesApril 16, 2024Pros: Excellent perks, smart coworkers. Good pay. A great place to gain experience and grow if you take advantage of it. Access to lots of cool design docs.Cons: A particularly memorable part of my 6-year stay at Google was the 3 years at Daydream, the former VR department. Leadership cancelled every single project I worked on, except the least promising one, which they kept because they didn’t want to back out on a collaboration with a partner company and hurt Google’s image. They went on to sell about 5000 units and then cancel the project. Too user-oriented for innovation. As ChatGPT showed us, unless it's search, ads, or software infrastructure, the only innovation Google does will be despite its leadership, not because of it.
