Hi everyone, just finished my virtual onsite for Google L4 loop today. Four rounds(1 behavioral, 3 coding). Please review and let me know if I might get an offer! 1st Round - Behavioral: Friendly chit chat with the interviewer, I think I did fine I kept the conversation going by pro actively asking questions, I answered every single question with an example following STAR method. 5/5? 2nd Round - Coding: Interviewer did not seem like he cared, looked at the phone the whole time. He gave two LC easy-medium questions and I solved it and asked what he thought but instead he said my implementation is fine and looked like he wanted to get the interview over with, he also did not give me any constraints/information and I asked and he said I did not have to worry about it. Hard to tell how well I did but I did solve both questions relatively fast. 4/5? 3rd round - Coding: Medium DFS based question which was pretty straightforward, I solved it very fast and I went over some edge cases and talked about some other technical stuff. He seemed very happy. 5/5? 4th round - Coding: Medium level question which I had not seen before, I gave a solution but he said there is a better way to do it and gave few pointers and I was able to code it out optimally. We had a good conversation back and forth but I did feel like this was my weakest round, stumbled a few times along the way and he pointed out 2 edge cases that I've missed but I was able to solve it in the end. 3/5? Overall: 4/5? What do you guys think? Can any G guys give some comments. Thanks! YOE: 3.5 TC: 105 UPDATE 1: Recruiter said feedback is positive but I'm getting downleveled to L3 and I'm moving to team match #google #facebook #apple
Downlevel
Not always but generally Google picks L4 directly if you have 4/5+ Yoe and you will go through some design round. I think they will down level to L3.
Really? The recruiter specifically said I was in the loop for L4 and that L3/L4 does not have to do System Design...
Only L5+ loops have a sys design round. That said, I think you shot yourself in the foot going for a L3/L4 round…should’ve pushed harder for L4/L5
why do you only have 3 coding rounds
Not sure, that was my interview schedule lol
GCP?
The people who don’t care about the interview are the worst. They will fail you just because they don’t care, even if you do well.
I hope that is not the case because I feel like I did my best!
Hi @doit322 ! I have an interview coming up for Google L4. Can I DM you please?
Let us know OP
Will do! Just follow my post!
Hi. Do you have 1 Crore package at JP Morgan Chase? And did Google match that for L3? 😮 Or are your from the USA with 105k USD package?
Us bhai, who has 1 crore package with 3 yoe lol
"Medium level question which I had not seen before" lol did you know already the others
Wow, I interviewed for an internship and got three LC hards (not even a harder medium)
They might down level to L3. Add current YOE, Role and TC
