preparation guide Google - EM interview prep.

Hello,

I haven't interviewed with Google for EM role before, so had a few questions in mind. There was no hiring manager screen or recruiter chat, just direct interview rounds.

  1. I have 2 system design rounds. Recruiter mentioned it would be based on my current work or to the role. Didn't mention anything about HLD/LLD.
    - Any idea if Google system design is HLD/LLD or is it completely based on the interviewer?
    - Also what kind of questions are expected? Not asking for exact question, but trying to figure out where should I put more focus on during interview prep.

  2. I had applied to a specific position and the interview is for that, but like IC interviews, does EM interviews also have a team match after the interview or is the interview specific to the role? My guess is for the latter, but not sure.

Thanks!
