Interview Process
The interview was structured into two parts: coding and behavioral questions. For the coding part, I was asked to solve a problem in real-time. The task was to implement a function that takes a string and returns the longest substring without repeating characters. I explained my thought process and then proceeded to write the code. Google uses a collaborative coding platform, making it easy to write and test code. After completing the coding challenge, the interviewer asked a few behavioral questions to understand how I work in a team and handle conflicts. Overall, the interview was engaging, and I felt I had a good rapport with the interviewer.
