Hi! Interviewing for Google’s swe intern position on Thursday. Anyone who has gone through the process have any tips? I’ve just been on that leetcode grind.
Mine is next Thursday. Did yours just happen? If not, we could practice together sometime
Yeah, finished mine today. Did well on second interview, had a small bug in the first but hopefully it is okay. First interviewer made the problem extremely vague and wanted me to formulate the problem and clarify with him throughout. Missed a super important edge case and he told me in the last 5 mins so I had to rewrite my algorithm, which worked but we didnt have time to discuss it.

Hi, best of luck to you! If you think you’ve got the problem solving down, i would highly recommend practicing your communication skills. Have you given your interviewer enough information for him to follow your thought process? Did you adequately justify your decisions? Personally I like discussing the constraints I'm be working under first; usually runtime constraints. What do these constraints mean to you? (O(1) access? -> hash table/set) and work from there. It should be super obvious what you're doing and why, such that even if you don't have an optional solution the code is neat and your rationale clear. Good luck!
Thanks a lot!!! Will take into account everything you mentioned!
