GCP interview Preparation
Any one out there interviewed with GCP recently ? How is their onsite interview? I have just 15 days for preparation and so nervous, postponed it almost twice, now feel super guilty to postpone it more. I want to give it a shot. Working on medium one’s in leet code, suggestions for design interviews? I have over 5 years of experience.
If you have 5yrs of experience, you won't be leveled at L5 so system design won't matter that much. I would focus on leetcode. Pay one month premium and do Google tagged problems (200+ though)
Interviewed last summer. Most questions were medium, one hard DP. One guy gave me a real-world problem and I had to come up with design, then code parts of it. Solved all problems in time and optimally, except one tree traversal where the scenario had an invariant that could have been used to speed up things (but not different big-O). Did not get an offer :)
So you solved everything optimally but didn't get an offer? Doesn't make sense
As I wrote I missed an invariant that was true for the data in a tree traversal problem. Even if it didn't change the runtime on the big-O level they probably dinged me on it. Can't think of anything else, checked the problems at home. I know I passed the non-coding interviews as HC called me back for another round of coding-only interviews, saying the first set of interviews were too easy. Google is hard to get into, man :)
Which team? Infra? App Engine?
