Interview Process
I had a Google software engineering interview in the early career program. The interview was split into two parts: a coding challenge and a behavioral interview.
For the coding part, I was given a problem that involved data structures. They specifically asked me about the best approaches I would take to solve the problem and how to optimize my code. I explained my thought process and provided them a working solution in Python.
Then we moved on to the behavioral part. They asked me about situations where I faced challenges in a team and how I resolved conflicts. Overall, it felt like I could communicate well with the interviewer and express my thoughts clearly.
