Hello Guys,

I want to share my recent interview experience with Google. Recruiter contacted me early this year but somehow I missed that email.
Fortunately, I got another email few months later and with full excitement I agreed to the process of being interviewed by Google.

I had a phone round 2 months ago for which i took 3 weeks prep time.

Phone round1:

I got a basic question something like this https://leetcode.com/problems/word-subsets/.
Given two strings, find if the String2 is subset of String1.
I did well but i ran out of time to explain time complexity.
I got feedback and since they saw potential they wanted to have another round before they call me onsite.**

Phone round2:

I recently had 2nd phone round where by just looking at the interviewer I knew it's gonna be hard.
Question was simple related to Linkedlist operations.
I did it on time but without me further saying anything interviewer asked to finish the call.
I don't know if I did something terrible but I learnt lots of things with these interview experiences.
I have no hard feelings since this was my very first interview with them and I have heard people try multiple times to get in Google.
Hopefully, better luck next time.

All the best for those who is going to get interviewed :).
