Recruiter emailed 4 days after I applied to schedule a phone interview. Phone interview happened a week and a half later (November 7). Phone interview consisted of coding on a blank google doc for the question of: given an array of n integers, check if the array has two nearby duplicate numbers (meaning if a [2] = 3, Then check if 3 occurs at most two positions after. Started with brute force approach and it took a long time and with hints to get the program to run in O (n) time with Dictionary. Used c#.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
given an array of n integers, check if the array has two nearby duplicate numbers (meaning if a [2] = 3, Then check if 3 occurs at most two positions after.
1 coding assessment. If you pass, you get to the final round which consists of 4 rounds in one day. 3 technical and one behavioral. The algorithms I had was BFS, Min heaps, and backtracking(parentheses)
Got an OA first.
And an interview call.
Question was backtracking leetcode.
i would say a medium-hard question . I was able to solve it but still got rejected. I was hoping for second on site round. idk why .
But i think my interviewer is not in interested in my code like she is not even correcting me.
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Seattle, WA)
Interview
I applied online with no referral. First was an online coding challenge then 4 virtual onsite 45 minute interviews. I had a call with my recruiter to learn about the details of the interview process. They were 3 technical interviews and 1 behavioral.
