Thoughts/Remarks

1. All the Technical interviews were 45 mins long. 1 TPS and 4 onsite. Out of these 5, 4 were coding and one was culture fit(They call it Googliness). In the 4 coding interviews 3 of them were graphs related and 1 was hashmap.
2. After the TPS round you can ask your recruiter for feedback on how you did and if the interviewer felt there were areas you could improve in before the onsite interviews.
3. I had a really long team matching phase, spoke with 13 different teams over 15 30minutes calls. I think this step takes awhile because there are lot of good candidates who get to this phase. So teams can be a bit picky, they tend to look for a perfect fit.
4. After HC Approval I was told my interviews are valid for a year.
