Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

There were two interviews, back-to-back, each lasting 45-60 minutes.

For each interview, I had a short talk about my background. The interviewer also talked about their job at Google for about 5-7 minutes.

Then the question was introduced on a Google Doc. After discussing a solution, I started to write code and talked about time complexity as well as space complexity.

Finally, the interviewers asked if I had any questions about the internship or Google.

Questions

The question in the first round was about re-arranging integers in an array, given another array of new indexes. I was stuck on this question for almost one hour. The second question was about finding anagrams in a string.
