      Software Engineering Interview

      19 Nov 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google

      Interview

      I got recommended by a Google employee. The recruiter came to me in a week and went me through the interview process. He asked me to pick 4/5 2-hour period on workdays to get two phone screen, each 45 mins. They have a google doc for each interviewer to write code on. On the day of my interview, the first interviewer didn't contact me. So I shoot an email to the recruiter. He called me in 30 mins to update the information. The interviewer was late or something so his interview will be after my originally second one. At that time, I got the call from one interviewer. The question he asked is basically how to find the point closest to given points on a grided plane. I didn't do well and the phone was not clear. The second one was nice. Question was about binary tree and palindrome. Easy stuff. Got rejected in two weeks.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How to locate the point with the minimal distance to all the given points. Which should be done by a connected graph as all the points on the grid can only move up and down. I tried to answer the question but the interviewer kept asking me is this the global minimum. I don't know!!!
