Just finished G-onsite. 5 rounds (3 algo + 1 S.D + 1 Behav.). I think I did OK to good in all 3 algo rounds ( of course there were followups and then we ran out of time in 2 of them) . In one algo round, I solved reasonably quickly (luckily clicked !) and the interviewer ended up discussing his project in details and we discussed last 5-10 mins about how it is working at G. Didn't do well in S.D round. I have been at Quant hedge fund for last 9 years running a book so don't have real world expertise in planet scale systems. What are the chances of my offer. Any G-pros who interview folks on daily basis ? TC: You eat what you kill + 220 Base
You might get leveled at L4. What’s the sd question?
Large scale query suggestion. There was huge discussion about Cache vs TrieServer, blah blah. Then huge discussion over SQL vs noSQL.
Thanks fdg. 1.Über ATG ist very interested since I have computer vision background. If I end up with good Uber offer, will they upgrade. 2. Can I ask for another S.D interview. 3. I interned at G in one summer more than 10 yr ago in grad school. Does the above pull me over hump or will they give me benefit of doubt.
Had same performance as you 4 days ago. They got back to me in 2 days saying i got downleveled to L4 cuz of SD interview. Recruiter mentioned u need to do well in SD for L5. Strange they put all that weight from L4 —> L5 in a single 45min conversation.
Hmm. Sorry about it. Mine was on Wednesday and I haven't heard anything from recruiter. I have an offer from Datadog and told about it to recruiter, he said he will get back Asap but nothing yet
So, I assume you had it on Monday and on Wednesday you got feedback ?
What’s your YOE ?
Hey OP, what exactly does 'eat what you kill mean'? How much did you get to eat over how much did you kill?
Means if you made good profit, you get paid some fraction of it which could be large depending on P&L. Flip Side is you have 2 down years and you are out of the door. I didn't loose money but I just think WL balance is bad
I figured the meaning; I'm asking about the numbers, if you don't mind sharing :)

@op I had interviewed with google seems like and L5 position. One interview wasn't as good and they got back to me saying to do it again waiting on a scheduled date at the moment if that helps
They might have you back for more interviews.
@OP, how many leetcode problems did you solve before interviewing?
I don't have an offer so far so it does not matter how many problems I solved. So far I have solved 26 hard but gone through other books like EPI

Mostly getting L4 if you end up getting an offer.
I have a follow-up :-) but posted as a new comment by mistake
