Interview
In the summer of 2018, I was a Google Engineering Practicum (EP) Intern and since my performance was deemed "good enough", I did not have to re interview. The EP interview process involved two phone calls over google hangouts. Each was approximately 45 minutes
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
For EP: One was just reading code about a linked list and explaining what it does
There were 2 coding interviews where we coded on a shared Google doc. The problems were just like leetcode problems, easy to medium. After those, they contacted me to add a 3rd coding interview, which was a harder collection of dynamic programming problems. After passing these, there was a group match interview where I just chatted with the group leader.
