Status: New grad, tier-2 university in India
Position: SDE Intern at Google
Date: 17 April, 2020
Previous interview experience: None.

Preparation Duration:
I prepared for around 1 month for 4-5 hours every day.

Preparation Material:

  1. Leetcode (100+ medium with many easy questions and a few hard questions).
  2. Cracking the coding interview.
  3. GFG

My Preparation for the challenge:

  • I started by solving some easy questions on leetcode.
  • After solving around 100 easy questions I moved to memdium questions, initiaIly I was not able to completely solve medium level questions, so I started reading CTCI and it really helped me move forward.
  • I also started solving "must do" and comapny tags questions from GFG.
  • I was not good with DP so I started doing more and more of that.

About Challenge:
Duration: 45 Minutes.
2 Algorithm Question
1. Medium leetcode question on level Binary tree.
2. Hard leetcode question on DP.

Rejection:
I was not able to solve the 2nd question, although I haven't got any rejection mail yet but I know I will get one soon. I hope that I can do better next time :)

My Feeling:
I think I was not well prepared for the challenge as I was not able to solve the 2nd Question (DP). But I am still happy that I was able to get such big opportunity.
