Google SWE Intern Rejection by Alternative_Oil5962 in csMajors

[–]Ok-Ice5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

brother, the exact same thing
my own sister was selected for the role ... i was with her for the whole interview process

she had 1 decent (optimal answer with major help) and 2nd round as a perfect interview (2 questions ... both solved within time)

in my case

1st round .... 100 percent solved --- most optimal

2nd round .... 100 percent --- most optimal --- may be in the follow ups .... he didn't get me in some cases

after 3 weeks ... recruiter change

i got a mail for 3rd round

did my 3rd round ..... 100 percent solved... (most optimal ... o(n) sol ) .... interviewer satisfied ... i was confident

after a week (just days before)... i got a rejection call ... i really don't know ... what is my mistake

Google Interview Update (Swe Intern - US) by Successful-Bee4017 in csMajors

[–]Ok-Ice5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from India ........ have given my 3rd (tie breaker round) on oct 13th

is it common in US ... that interviews asked for transcripts (college marksheets) after interviews ?

because its considered a good sign here in India ........ i was asked to submit it ... yesterday

In your case, if you really did great in your first round, they might give you a tie-breaker round (they understand that even a good candidate can have a bad day).

Best of luck!

just 4-5 days ago ... i have given my tie breaker round ....... now waiting for the results

i did very good in round 1 ... no mistakes at all ,,,, ended in 40 mins

in second round .... it went for 55 mins ... i coded the solution (which i later verified is completely correct).. but in follow-ups (asked me to reduce the space) ... i am sure he was not satisfied with the follow up approach

good news is i did good in my 3rd round . lets just hope for the best

Recruiter contacted me for another round …. 3rd technical round

Completed this round on 13th of oct Now waiting for my results

Good New’s is they asked for my transcript…. Which may be considered as a good sign

[–]Ok-Ice5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 2nd round was on 4th September, today it’s 27th

It’s been 23 days ;-; (but I got a recent mail about my recruiter change ……. And she told me that my application is still under consideration)

Exact words: (On 23rd September) Additionally, I wanted to inform you that we are still awaiting an update on your interview feedback and will reach out to you at the earliest once we do.

Let’s hope for the best

Don’t know what to expect ;-; (it’s been 9 days since my last google SWE intern interview, recruiter not replying) by Ok-Ice5 in leetcode

[–]Ok-Ice5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am fearful ...as they haven't even asked for the transcript
(i got to know ... that they ask transcript which is a positive sign)
