I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Google (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Jan 2024
Interview
Was pretty smooth. Needs more prep on sql queries and data structures and algorithms. Practicing leetcode medium questions would be sufficient. Would say it went well. Had gone through first round.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Find largest word in dictionary by deleting some characters of given string
It was all good, the interviewer was very nice. Technical questions were a bit challenging but overall it was good. The hiring manager was looking for some hands on experience
Back to back interview.
[1]. Mainly ask ML concepts, e.g., how to develop a classifer for youtube video; they will also ask some statistical concepts
[2] Coding for both python and sql
Applied at PhD level so I had two back to back technical interviews. One all stats concepts and the other talking over a hypothetical experiment design and walking through my thought process.
