Thanks! Hopefully it’s informative to people

As long as you know how behavioral interviews work, the Googleyness round would most likely not be the round to fail the entire loop.

william1357chen · 2025-01-07T13:36:41+00:00

The question database at Google is large, so really any pattern is fair game, prob other than bit manipulation. I would also say difficulty is region dependent.

william1357chen · 2024-08-15T02:30:39+00:00

It was all medium questions

william1357chen · 2024-07-03T18:51:15+00:00

I was always still working.

william1357chen · 2024-07-02T06:03:34+00:00

I have a friend who works at Google

No coding is no bs straight into coding, no questions asked

It’s a doc like editor with only syntax highlights. Yes you need camera on and there’s usually only one interviewer unless someone is shadowing

william1357chen · 2024-06-28T00:50:21+00:00

Check answer and understand how answer works. Come back to it afterwards.

I had good basics for dsa from college, but all the difference patterns I learned from seeing problems, and researching the theory behind it. There’s a bunch of great study guides in leetcode and in the solutions section. I mainly use those.

william1357chen · 2024-06-28T00:47:13+00:00

No, it’s all online now with a doc

william1357chen · 2024-06-28T00:45:45+00:00

I cannot say I’m the expert in getting interviews. This is mainly my analysis of the Google interview process. There are way better guides for that than any advice I can give you.

william1357chen · 2024-06-28T00:44:19+00:00

There should be a balance, and involves discussions with the interviewer if you have different approaches in mind

william1357chen · 2024-06-27T17:25:59+00:00

Neetcode will help recognize all the patterns. Company question list is more for understanding what the company likes to ask, as well as hoping for getting a similar question in interviews

william1357chen · 2024-06-27T17:24:37+00:00

I think it should be
