Process
I was scheduled for two back-to-back, 45-minute interviews with Google engineers.
For my first interview, we jumped straight into the interview question. I was asked to code a solution and provide runtime complexity analysis.
For my second interview, we discussed some of my projects and work experience for about five minutes. After that, I received another coding problem and was asked to provide runtime complexity analysis.
