Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience - Bengaluru, India
Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months.
You need to practice a lot of DSA and System Design questions. DSA questions are focused on providing optimal solutions. For System Design, you need to elaborate on the different tradeoffs. Also, for Googliness, make sure you understand Google culture, and there are books like How Google Works which can help you understand. Though if you are from companies which operate like Big Tech, then this interview should not be difficult.
Questions
In the Googleliness interview, they focus on how to handle difficult situations at work.
