"It felt pretty classic Google. I had a phone screen with behavioral and coding, then an onsite with two coding rounds and one system design round. The technical side was straightforward and very standard, and the two coding problems I remember were shortest path in a DAG and minimum meeting rooms. For system design, they had me design a news feed and then pushed on scale, fanout, storage, and ranking. Nothing about the loop felt unusual."

"Pretty standard process. Interviewers were friendly and seemed to enjoy the work culture. The interviews themselves weren't too difficult, mostly standard leetcode questions."

"The process was really easy just leetcode mediums then a behavioral. I solved the two problems, and then two weeks later got an interview. A week after the interview you should get the offer."

"DSA is the key. Learning problems will not help but understanding them will. I had 2 rounds online (1 technical, 1 behavioral) and 2 technical rounds onsite. Each technical round had 2 questions and one has to do well in every round. I did well on the online rounds and got stuck on 1 question in one of the onsite round. Ultimately, I took more than expected time for 1 question in my last round which I could have done better."

"The process focused on data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving. The interviewers were professional, and I was able to explain my approach. I could have managed time better when optimizing solutions."
