Process
I was contacted by a recruiter about opportunities at Google for graduates. After talking to the recruiter, I was asked to do a coding sample, which I found much more difficult than anything I have been asked in phone or on-site interviews, including at other top-tier companies. I would practice LeetCode questions in the hard category exclusively.
Questions
Given a valid time (e.g., 11:30), find the combination giving the latest valid time with the digits provided.
The second question was very long and included a lot of detail, but it was a max subarray problem.
