Interview Process
I had a coding and behavioral interview with Google for the Software Engineer position. The format was a typical online interview where I first engaged in behavioral questions followed by a coding challenge that tested my problem-solving skills.
During the behavioral part, I was asked about my previous project experiences and how I tackled challenges in collaborative settings. The interviewer was interested in my thought process and how I approach teamwork.
For the coding challenge, I was given a problem that involved data structures and algorithms. I used a common data structure and explained my logic as I went along.
Technical Questions
- Two Sum (Array, Hash Table)
- Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters (Hash Table, Two Pointers, String)
Tips & Insights
It felt great to articulate my thought process during the coding challenge, so practice explaining your logic clearly. Focus on teamwork and collaboration experiences during behavioral questions.
