Interview Process
I had my first round interview for the Software Engineer position at Google. The interview lasted for about 45 minutes. The first half was focused on behavioral questions, where I was asked about my previous projects and how I approach team collaboration. The interviewer seemed interested in my problem-solving skills and asked follow-up questions to understand my thought process better.
The second half of the interview was coding-related. I was given a LeetCode problem to solve: ‘Find the Maximum Subarray Sum’. I walked through my thought process while coding, and the interviewer provided hints when I got stuck. I submitted my solution at the end of the allocated time.
Overall, it was a positive experience, though I felt a bit nervous at the start. I look forward to any feedback from Google about the next steps in the process.
