*Google Interview Experience* *Interview Structure and Format:* - Screening Round: 1 round focused on Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA). - Onsite Rounds: 3 rounds, all centered around DSA questions, ranging from medium to hard, covering both fundamental and advanced topics. - Googlyness Round: This round assessed my ability to handle various situations at work, evaluating my cultural fit with the company. It involved behavioral questions and scenarios to gauge how I would approach challenges and align with Google's values. *Preparation for DSA Rounds:* 1. LeetCode Practice: I primarily used LeetCode to solve problems, starting with the Blind 75 to build a strong foundation in the basics. 2. Advanced Data Structures: To be thorough, I also prepared advanced data structures like Segment Trees, Union-Find, Trie Trees, etc. 3. Famous Algorithms: I made sure to cover algorithms like DFS, BFS, Dynamic Programming, KMP, and others. 4. Practice: I focused on solving at least 4-5 hard problems for each data structure and algorithm. 5. Tip: It’s helpful to practice solving previously asked questions in Google interviews, as this can give you a better sense of the types of problems to expect. *Evaluation Criteria:* *1. Communication:* - Openly ask questions wherever you find ambiguities. Don’t assume anything—clarify with the interviewer. - Discuss your approaches and start implementing only after agreeing on a solution with the interviewer. *2. Time Management:* - Each interview is generally 45 minutes long, so it's important to manage your time effectively. Ensure you have enough time to write and debug your code and address any follow-up questions. *3. Code Quality:* - Write code that is easy to read and understand. Use meaningful names for functions and variables, and ensure proper indentation. - Aim to write bug-free code. If there are bugs and the interviewer points them out, you should be able to identify and fix them without additional hints. - Always try to dry run your code with one or more examples to ensure it works as expected. *React ❤️ for more*
