Interview Process
I had an interview with Google for a Software Engineer position. The interview had two parts: coding and behavioral. The coding part involved solving a problem on a platform similar to LeetCode, where I worked through a coding prompt. The behavioral section focused on my previous experiences, projects, and how I handle challenges in a team setting. The entire interview lasted approximately 28 minutes, and I felt it went well overall.
Technical Questions
- Robot Grid Distance Challenge (Grid, Dynamic Programming)
- Arithmetic Expression Simplification (Math, Expression Evaluation)
- Tree Distance Sum Problem (Tree, DFS)
- Fibonacci Tree Path Calculation (Tree, Recursion)
Tips & Insights
Be prepared to discuss your past projects and experiences in detail, as the behavioral questions can be quite probing. Practice coding problems under time constraints to simulate the interview environment.
