Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 4 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Google (Cambridge, MA) em fev. de 2022
Entrevista
The interview was tricky. The interviewer was engaging and helpful but the question was hard to even understand, let alone solve. I had been expecting something akin to a leetcode problem, but the given problem was more of a general logic/knowledge/comprehension exercise, which threw me off. Apparently this is very typical with Google, the questions will be deliberately vague and open-ended so that the interviewer can can focus more on your raw reasoning process than how much leetcode you have practiced.

Pergunta 1
Question was about finding the index in a buffer of an element "after the system crashes". Not really an algorithmic question as far as I could tell, more of a "A has 2 apples, B has 3 apples, calculate the mass of the sun" type question.
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.

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
