Just wrapped up and L4 loop for SWE
All 4 technical rounds were pretty similar. I was able to spot the optimal solution within a few minutes, asked a few clarifications about assumed input and output, asked if we should discuss better solutions and all said no just implement the one I said.
I implemented them all, but on most there was an edge case or two I didn’t capture correctly which we discussed. On one I got the wrong time complexity and couldn’t get the right form.
They all seemed to generally like me and enjoy the conversation, I was trying to keep them engaged.
The Googleyness interview went pretty well, maybe a 4/5 overall. I had good answers for all but I didn’t necessarily phrase them all well

For Google I just wrote a bullet point list of important moments in my career, and tried to think of 2 or 3 stories to tell about each. This gave me around ~20 stories to reference, which was plenty to cover any question they had
