Google Hiring committee
Hi all,
I have recently given interview for Google, I will not be able to share exact questions, but will mention topics.
First two rounds were screening rounds:
- DSA - I was asked similar to minimum number of meeting rooms required I was able to solve the question and for the followup, interviewer asked just to tell the approach, I told close to optimal solution I would give myself H/SH, I am not sure what is difference between these two
- Googylness - I would rate myself SH
After 2-3 days I was moved to onsite rounds
These two rounds happened on the same day
- Interviewer asked a tree question, evaluate expression, but it was not straight forward, it would rate it medium-hard LC question The interview started late and when the interview started, interviewer got the message that other interview is in 38 minutes, he skipped introduction and followup, he asked the question, i told brute force approach and optimised it to optimal approach, when i started writing code, I could only write 70% and realised one of the function i had written wouldnt work for all the cases, I told him i will correct it, but the time got over, he gave me extra 5 minutes and asked doubt about the approach i had given, he was happy with the approach. I took no hint. I would rate myself LNH/LH, Anyone can help me with the rating here?
- Third round was a leetcode medium question, I could solve the question, discussed the edge cases, there was few minutes remaining, no followup was asked, I would rate this the best.
After 2-3 days, recruiter reached to me to tell I have cleared my onsite rounds and we are moving to team matching
I matched with ateam, had two call, one with the team lead on Friday and second with HM on Monday.
On Tuesday, Recruiter asked me full name, projects done etc and few Googlers name to get internal referral to make my case stronger in front of HC. She sent mails for feedback to my friends around 8 pm and got reply from all 3 around midnight.
She told, I would get the verdict in 4-5 days, by early next week, no reply then I reached out to her on Tuesday evening, she told she is expecting by Friday evening, I mailed her to check in but no response, it's been around 11 days and this Tuesday it will be 2 weeks, is this normal? What are my chances with these score? can someone please help out, I am super anxious about the result?
