Interview Process

I had a coding and behavioral interview with a recruiter from Google. The interview started with typical resume questions and a brief introduction. After that, I was asked to solve a coding problem in real-time using a shared code editor. The coding question focused on data structures, specifically on trees and graphs. I implemented a depth-first search algorithm to traverse the graph. After completing the coding part, the interviewer asked several behavioral questions, including how I handle project deadlines and work in a team. The interviewer was very supportive and provided helpful hints when I got stuck.
