Google Onsite Prep? (L4 / Cambridge, MA)
Just another thread asking about suggestions for preparation, and what to expect. Recruiter said I'm being targeted for L4, with either the Search or YouTube product teams. I was told to expect 4 coding & algorithms sessions, and 1 behavioral session. Should I expect system design or just straight-up LC questions? Does Google still have a notorious rep for only asking about graphs, or should I diversify my interview topics? So far I've been grinding LeetCode as much as I can while on lunch break and during weekends. Finished 550 questions (305 Easy, 210 Mediums, 35 Hards), doesn't feel like enough though. TC or GTFO: YOE: 5 TC: 230k
It will never be enough. Just grind LC hard and have some good stories on hand for behavioral portion. I was asked lots of graphs and trees questions.
You should clarify this with your recruiter. My recruiter is very clear about this. Even though we didn't talk about the level yet. Since I have 6.5 YOE I will have system design question + domain-specific question. And holy crap I just trying to reach 200. I think 550 is more than enough.
