Medium/ Hard array question and then an easy graph question
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google in Oct 2019
Interview
The process was quite weird for my experience. There was no staff talking with you. Only went through a link in the email. Did not pass the first personality check. No one-to-one talking.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Google in Nov 2019
Interview
Had one online assessment coding round followed by two phone interviews. This was followed by the Hiring Committee decision. After that, we had a team matching phase. Once, I found a team, I got the offer.
