Candidatei-me por meio de uma faculdade ou universidade. O processo levou 8 meses. Fui entrevistado pela Google (Waterloo, ON) em mai. de 2025
Entrevista
4.5/5 (well-organized but intense)
Interview Process:
OA (Online Assessment): 2 coding questions (LeetCode Medium/Hard) + behavioral MCQ (60 mins).
Technical Phone Screen (45 mins): Live coding on a collaborative editor (e.g., problem-solving + optimization).
Final Round (2 x 45-min virtual interviews):
Coding: Algorithm design + edge-case discussion.
System Design Lite: High-level design for a small-scale feature (e.g., API caching).
Team Fit (30 mins): Casual chat with a potential team lead about projects and culture.
Perguntas de entrevista [1]
Pergunta 1
OA (Online Assessment):
"Given a string, find the longest substring with at most K distinct characters." (LeetCode Medium variant)
"Design a rate-limiting algorithm for an API." (Pseudocode + complexity analysis)
Phone Screen:
*"You’re given a grid representing a maze (0 = path, 1 = wall). Find the shortest path from start to end."* (BFS/DFS follow-up: optimize for time/space).
Final Round (Coding):
"Implement an autocomplete system using a trie. How would you handle scaling to millions of users?" (Trie operations + discussion on caching/sharding).
System Design Lite:
"How would you design a tinyURL service?" (Focus on hashing, collisions, and database schema)
Candidatei-me online. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Google.

It was interesting to see the way that the team was able to make the candidates more comfortable. The process was fast and interesting in order to make the candidate feel more relaxed
It was online and fairly standart. You will be sent a Google Meet link after scheduling with your interviewer. You will be asked one or two coding questions for STEP and SWE Intern positions. If you pass the technical rounds, you will be advanced to the team matching phase. As a tip, team matching is unfortunately not a guarantee and you should definitely continue looking for other opportunities as long as you don't have an offer in your hand.

It was related to DP. It was specifically 1D. Cant give more details.
it was in 2024, 2 rounds of interview were there, whether you get second one or not depend on your performance, i got the first one only and did not get the invite for the second one
