I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Nov 2023
Interview
Referred by friend and contacted by recruiter. The whole process included two coding interview. Pass the first and not for the second, then given an extra coding interview. Overall experience is good.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
First round is about splitting bunch of nodes into a binary tree, which is easy. Follow-up is splitting into a tree where each node has N children.
Second round is a task scheduling problem which gives you a constant timeout and a series of [task ID, Starting time], more like streaming mode, then return if the a task is timeout at certain timestamp. Did not really get the idea but can be solved using dictionary.
Home exam, 2 questions in 90 mins
Then they did 2 interviews-45 mins each
It was on google meet
The interviews are in English, the first question was matrix dfs and the second one was hashmap with random function
There were multiple stages to the process, but the main one of which was technical interviews through digital meetings (Zoom) consisted of 2 meetings, in which you have to solve 1 leet-code style question, levels medium-hard.
Application
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google (Tel Aviv-Yafo)
Interview
My application process started in November with two LeetCode-style home assignments. In December, I sat for two technical interviews on Google Meet. Although they were meant to be back-to-back, one was rescheduled after the interviewer didn't show up. I successfully navigated a medium question with a follow-up and a hard DFS/graph problem.
Two weeks later, in January, I moved into the host-matching phase. After one team match interview in February, I wasn't selected, and by April, I received a final update that the process was closing because no further team matches were found.
