Google onsite
Do google interviewers calibrate the questions before putting in front of a candidate. I had onsite and felt questions were straight forward and nothing like that I have heard of like very tricky questions. Just want to understand this aspect. 1 coding question on graph,with follow ups LC hard 2 some class design with follow up LC medium to hard 3. String question. Struggled a bit but got the answer did not got time for follow up Lc medium 4. System design: modification of grokk the system design Is that typical types of questions?
Sometimes the hc thinks if all rounds were too easy to go through interviews again. I hope it doesnt happen but it has happened before
Yeah that is the worst nightmare. But I think it is not good thing on Google behalf if they don't vet the question before asking.
Yeah google is weird, they give interviewers complete freedom to ask questions so its both a plus and a negative
Keep us updated on the results.
L4 or L5?
How hard graph questions ? Dfs/bfs level or djikstra algorithm or dp on graph level hard ?
Dfs with little modification. In follow up you might need to change the code to use Dijkstra. I dont think anyone is asking dp these days.
Google asks dp questions a lot. Last time I gave my interview. I was asked 2 dp questions
@OP: Congratulations, looks like you did well!
It's all about luck and who your interviewer is.
No that does not make sense if you have 5 rounds. Not all of them can be of same level based on luck.
Well I interviewed with them before, 4 coding round 1 was extremely difficult. Basically a competitive programming level question. Found out that the interviewer is a competitive programmer, that’s why he gave such a question
