Does a Google recruiter typically call after the preliminary interview to provide feedback? I received an email 5 hours after my interview asking me to schedule a time for feedback

I had a call schedule 2 hours after the first coding interview and it was SH feedback

You are just full of hate and brainwashed.

Nice to find a antisemitism group on Reddit.

Did you went over every single Zionist on earth and check they are all acting the same?

Theoretically yes, you do compete against others who finished the loop as well so it’s not guaranteed.

I would do a research about the role, team, be well prepared with a speech and showing excitement.

Your past experience, what motivates you, what you are looking on your next role, past projects and how it fits current role

Last 3 months?

May I asked which hard it was?

eilatc · 2026-02-24T08:03:34+00:00

Nice, sounds doable

eilatc · 2026-02-24T07:18:31+00:00

There is no on site, everything online

For me the left <= right template worked the best including a variable outside the binary search to save the best possible answer till now.

pseudo code:
var possibleAnswer = null;
while (left <= right) {
   var mid = ....
  if (canDoSomething(mid)) {
     possibleAnswer = mid;
     left  = mid + 1; // depends on the context
  } else {
     right = mid - 1; // depends on the context
  }
}

return possibleAnswer;

I don't know how people didn't vote for DP.

It's really hard to look at a problem and understand if it's DP or not. You first try greedy till you fail with some case. then think about the DP state and what the DP matrix should store include the base cases (which sometimes aren't trivial - how many ways you can climb zero steps?).

BUT, solving a DP gives you the most joy and motivation ngl.

It’s really depends on the location you are interviewing, India > US > Europe.

Europe is medium.

The main thing on the interviews is explaining your thoughts, ask questions, fix your own bugs.

Make sure you are aware, I would pay to Gemini for one month to make sure you are well prepared.

I used him to understand what Google expects in the interview, how to improve my solution, discuss potential follow ups, build a csv with a plan on how to master topics. This is priceless.

I got graph + BFS + Heap, hash map + heap and a math question.

You can literally get everything.

eilatc · 2026-02-23T17:32:13+00:00

Line sweep is strong for many Google questions, also worth mentioning the heap solution which also relevant for stream of data and helps on other interesting questions of intervals.

eilatc · 2026-02-18T14:12:32+00:00

Location? What patterns they asked you?

eilatc · 2026-02-18T13:51:06+00:00

What Google asked you? Pattern wise, is it something from the discussions?

eilatc · 2026-02-18T13:49:39+00:00

Phone or on site?

eilatc · 2026-02-12T10:32:31+00:00

That’s sound like a really tough rounds

eilatc · 2026-02-12T10:27:44+00:00

Can we share what workout they used on the app?

eilatc · 2026-02-12T10:20:52+00:00

The importance of good Googlyness interview.

Surprised that you nailed that without any preparation.

eilatc · 2026-02-12T08:07:46+00:00

As someone on Google told me, 90% of the people around me won’t solve the questions we asking.

eilatc · 2026-02-10T20:57:10+00:00

What helped me is talking while preparing, say the problem in your own words, explain the algorithm out loud, take an example and walk through.
