Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Two back-to-back technical questions:

First was a LeetCode medium, a twist on Clone Graph. I had to implement two methods.

Second was a LeetCode hard equivalent.

Currently, I'm in the process for a third interview. I hear Google does this if the feedback of the two interviewers varies.

Questions

They copy-paste the question into their internal interviewing platform, and you start coding. No test cases are provided, so running the code is not an option. It seems like they prioritize how well you can talk through your solution.
