Interview Process
I had a coding and behavioral interview with Google for a software engineer position. The interview started with general questions about my background and why I wanted to work at Google. After that, I was given a couple of coding problems to solve on a shared code editor. The first problem focused on data structures, while the second was more algorithmic in nature. Both problems required me to explain my thought process as I worked through them. The interviewer was supportive and provided hints when necessary. After the coding part, we discussed behavioral questions, including teamwork experiences and challenges I faced in previous projects. Overall, the experience was positive, and I felt that I had a good conversation with the interviewer.
