I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Google
Interview
The interview process was well-structured and thorough. It started with an online coding assessment focused on data structures and algorithms, followed by two technical rounds involving problem-solving, system design, and coding in real-time. The interviewers were professional, asked clarifying questions, and gave hints when needed. I appreciated how they evaluated both my coding skills and my thought process. Overall, it was a challenging yet positive experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me to design a scalable URL shortening service, similar to bit.ly. I explained my approach by discussing database schema, hashing techniques, handling collisions, ensuring scalability, and caching strategies.
Applied got email from someone I don’t think they are actual Google recruiters, they send assessment link once completed even pass, they say will update to Google recruiter and come back by saying not selected. Feel whole process something not right
