J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 3 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Google (Paris) en févr. 2019
Entretien
1. Phone screening
2. Phone interview
3. Onsite interview
- The process was too long. Started in November 2018, and finalized in March 2019.
- I definitely did not feel hospitality (not all interviewers, but at least a couple of them were not kind).
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
1. Traffic lights in a round about (system design)
2. Minimal subarray maximum
3. Mind master game
4. Most common element in an array
The interview was way more challenging than I anticipated, especially the technical rounds. I was thrown off by the depth of the DSA questions. One standout was a coding question about finding the median of two sorted arrays, which I recognized instantly — it was the same problem I had worked through on PracHub. The behavioral questions felt less intense, but the overall vibe was stressful. Ultimately, I didn’t receive an offer. It was a tough experience, but I'm grateful for what I learned along the way.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Given two sorted arrays of size m and n, find the median of the combined sorted array in O(log(min(m,n))) time.
The interviewer was very nice, one interviewer didn't show up so I rescheduled it. When I didn't come up with the best solution, the interveiwer was very patient and give me hint as many as possible
1 screening round + 3 onsite round
All rounds were focused on DSA that included topics like strings, linked list, heap and dynamic programming. Screening round had 2 questions on qualifying which I was eligible for onsite and Googliness rounds. The whole process took nearlying 2.5 months
