What was the difficulty level of questions? and if you could also tell the type, would help me as well. I have an interview scheduled next week

Zeta Yh1A5G OP Nov 17, 2023

Medium to hard.

Microsoft HiddenGem9 Nov 17, 2023

Dp, graph, tree? Were segment trees or suffix trees involved?

Isn't Google on freeze?

Zeta Yh1A5G OP Nov 17, 2023

Nope

Google quackface Nov 17, 2023

Can confirm, not in hiring freeze. However headcount is sparse, so a big hurdle is matching with a team. India and poland have the most open headcount.

How did you get an interview with Zeta on your resume? (Seriously asking)

Atlassian poutwq Nov 17, 2023

Compensation wise, Zeta was paying good money during the ZIRP. Recruiters and HMs have good idea about which companies are the competitors.

Zeta Yh1A5G OP Nov 17, 2023

Applied last year as well to google, feedback was good but got stuck in hiring freeze. I think this also might be reason of reaching out by recruiter.

Which team?

Microsoft 3wr3y Nov 17, 2023

Sounds more like humble brag than giving back to the community. If you really wanted to give back then tell us what/how you prepared, got your interview calls, kind of questions asked etc.

Zeta Yh1A5G OP Nov 17, 2023

Prepared from leetcode, focussed mostly on hard questions. Recruiter reached out. Medium to hard question graph, dp, greedy algorithm, sorting

Flagged by the community.

I am stuck in team match since 5 months without even a single team match call 😏. L5, Bangalore

Atlassian poutwq Nov 17, 2023

I guess the bar is higher for L5s. Given that they have more responsibility.

Zeta Yh1A5G OP Nov 17, 2023

L5 open roles are less in compare to L4 + Lot of people with cleared interviews already in pipeline + Managers are very choosy in selecting L5+ candidate. Even for setting HM call they go deep in past experience and interview feedback. Best of luck, team match step is just not in your/our hand. Try asking your friends working in Google if their team is hiring for L5 this might help

How long you are in zeta? Also, your TC in zeta? Also, all 4 rounds were purely coding? Did you get any common question, which you saw before? Congrats again

Google JdT67 Nov 17, 2023

Congrats! I assume it's SWE but if you could add this detail

Rakuten vkrs Nov 17, 2023

Did you had team match first and then hiring committee or was it reverse ?

Microsoft Kxdht91 Nov 17, 2023

I think they skip hiring committee if all the interview feedbacks are hire/strong hire

Rakuten vkrs Nov 17, 2023

Okay
