After HC Review they told to conduct one more coding interview round for me. Also I have not Leetcoded after my last round of G onsite which was in September, So kind of lost that momentum and motivation for problem solving. Do I need to completely ace this one to Pass HC? Looking for tips in preparation if I have only 1 week? Will I be judged only for the areas where last interviewer pointed weakness? Tc- 🥜 Yoe- 8.6 #tech #google #interview
Not in Google. But 1 more round generally means that there were contradictory signals from previous rounds. For example 2 interview could be Strong Hire, 1 Leaning Hire and 1 Leaning Reject.
yeah I had 2 lean hires and other ones were Strong hire and hire
Damn that seems like it should be good enough to pass. I really think interviewing bars are at an all time high right now.
@AQR You would need to Ace this round. For coding that basically means you have to reach the optimal solution with minimal hints. Interviewer will expect you to write bug free code. Dry run your code with test cases particularly edge cases before interviewer points out bug in your code.
Thanks mate👍
TC is peanuts at the hedge fund AQR?
Yeah it is as per blind standard 😐
I have also been through this before as well, there are two possibilities. One is that there’s mixed reviews from the interviewers, and the other is that there isn’t many headcounts left. In my case, that additional coding interviews is a design challenge for me and it’s conducted by a more experienced interviewer.
ohh , so It's possible that this problem will not be a variation of LC problems? Which position you interviewed for??
Wow, that can be stressful.
Yeah.. I am actually not able to decide where to start from..😐
In my experience interviewing at Google, they usually do not give another round to candidates that got mixed signal or who they feel are borderline, they simply reject. What might've happened is one of your interviewers messed up and gave crappy/contradicting notes, so the hiring committee can't make a good decision. In that case, your next interview will just be another signal in the hiring committee.
Interesting..
Location? Aim for perfect answer with good speed as well.

Thank you AAPL and NVDA
One of my friend also went through similar process. One more round after HC review. The focus of this round was on the weak point from previous rounds. And the expectation will be the same as initial rounds. Optimum solution with speed. Best of luck 🤞🏼
thanks 😊
