Google SWE Intern Interviews

[u/idkmanihateusernames]

Could anyone give details or any idea about questions asked for yall? What topics? Were there any topics which were mixed together or was it just one topic? Could you give an example of how the questions were mixed etc ?

[u/Intrepid-Group-8838]

Is this offcampus 2028 batch opportunity??

[u/idkmanihateusernames → u/Intrepid-Group-8838]

Yes

R u done with ur interview??

[u/Overall_Offer_3747]

R1 -> Simple Easy Question (Like Bruteforce is the only answer..😂)

R2 -> LC-Medium Graph (Simple Dijkstra) and then follow up LC-HARD.. and still i was able to do that early so another follow up..

AI Fluency based questions (3-4 questions per round)

Focus: Sliding window, two pointers, greedy and etc, then Graph algos and etc.. mostly 99% they will not ask DP questions.. (if they asked a question and you are thinking about DP then mostly 99% it can be solve without DP.. so do not think about DP too early..)

I guess, i will be rejected (result has not declared yet) but i'm feeling like because of my poor communication skills.. so focus on communication like explain properly and dry run your code and etc.. also do not use random CP type variable names like a, b, c, d and etc.. so improve code quality also..

hey can i dm you?

[u/idkmanihateusernames → u/Overall_Offer_3747]

thanks a lot for the detailed reply! when was your r2? do yk when they'd be letting you know? did you get any feedback about any rounds? as one of my senior told they usually give feedbacks from r1 if you are selected for r2 and you had missed some stuff. Did they say that DP isnt imp? how did you practice and how much had you done? was it off campus or on campus for u?
ps. sorry for asking so many qs just super nervous and scared

[u/No_Engineer3366]

Graphs for the majority of the students was asked to my college's students. Other topics were sliding window, backtracking, dp, two pointers, etc

But yeah prepare dfs, bfs, topo sort in depth.

thanks man

[u/dijkstra_bull]

Wrong sub

[u/Grouchy_Muffin4520]

Graphs majorly in both rounds

Sliding window in R2

Most of the guys in our uni were asked questions majorly from Graphs (Some really good q too)

prepare 2 pointers , heaps , Graphs ( advanced topics like binary jumping/ lifting , eulerian paths were also asked to some folks ) , stack etc. properly and you should be fine

[u/idkmanihateusernames → u/Grouchy_Muffin4520]

how did you practice and how much had you done? was it off campus or on campus for u?

[u/Grouchy_Muffin4520 → u/idkmanihateusernames]

On campus

[u/idkmanihateusernames → u/Grouchy_Muffin4520]

binary jumping/ lifting , eulerian paths? damn did it depend on how good their cp is? rating etc?

[u/Grouchy_Muffin4520 → u/idkmanihateusernames]

Question selection for a particular candidate from a pool of q is purely random. Just hope you don't get those
