      Software Engineer New Grad Interview

      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Toronto, ON) in Dec 2018

      Interview

      Completely bombed it. Tough interview with unconventional questions, which I was not expecting. I decided to interview in JavaScript, which I regret and wish I chose Java or C++. The questions were DSA related but took a more practical approach, which in many was is better than what most interviews do, but still was a surprise to me. As soon as the interview ended I knew I was rejected.

      Interview questions [4]

      Question 1

      Explain how threading works in JavaScript, and how async/await uses the threading model.
      1 Answer

      Question 2

      Write a function debounce(fn, timeout) which accepts a function and timeout as inputs and returns a function which will on allow fn to run after timeout ms.
      1 Answer

      Question 3

      Using JS Browser DOM API available functions, write "getElementsByClassName(className)" which accepts a string className and returns a list of HTML Elements which have the required className.
      1 Answer

      Question 4

      Create the class SnapshottableArray, which is a normal array except it has the ability to take a snapshot in time of the current values of the array, giving a handle/id. It has the class signature below. Focus on reducing space at the cost of time complexity. Fill in the function bodies to complete the class. (I wrote the class with types to make it clear what everything does, but the code should be in JS.) class SnapshottableArray{ SnapshottableArray(int size); // create new snapshottable array with size void set(int index, int value); // set's array at index to value int get(int index); // return the array at index's value int takeSnapshot(); // take a snapshot and return the handle/id of it int getSnapshotValue(int id, int index); // return the array at index's value for the given snapshot, represented by id }

      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.
