Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One common interview question at Google is "How would you approach solving a complex problem?" This question aims to assess the candidate's problem-solving skills and the thought process behind their decision making. It gives the interviewer an idea of how the candidate tackles challenges and approaches problem-solving in a practical, efficient and effective manner.
The interview process, if I do say so myself, was alright for the most part, except for when I was completing a question which had asked me some thing about an algorithm which was pertaining to a question about an algorithmic question which was related to graphs.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google in Jan 2021
Interview
We did brief introductions and then walked through a couple of interview questions. Pretty standard questions but set in a context unique to Google. The interviewer was nice and helpful.
