I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Google in May 2022
Interview
starts with snapshot and coding exercise. coding exercise can be done with more basic data structure and coding knowledge and is really about the problem solving. snapshot is typical personality test often with choices between multiple good things.
then final interview day- four technical, one behavioral.
recruiter was very nice and helpful, which is why i gave this a neutral experience even though there are so many flaws with this process and some interviewers were subpar (one kept talking at rapid speed and I spent the entire interview trying to understand the question because he hadn't prepared and couldn't explain it clearly)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The behavioral interview was mostly about my experience working in teams and times I've been challenged beyond my limits.
The technical interviews were each focused on a different data structure. strings, tree nodes (as an array), bitmap and binary tree (led to stacks). only the last one asked about a specific algorithm (post-order traversal).
