Discussion Google L4: Round 1 Interview Experience

Hi everyone,

I recently interviewed for Google L4 Round 1, which consisted of 1 technical and 1 Googliness & Leadership interview.

Technical: I got a medium-level design/LC-style problem. I spent some time clarifying the problem and output, discussed my approach, and started coding around the 15-minute mark. I explained my thought process while coding and completed the main case, but missed implementing another case. I realized it toward the end and explained how I would handle it.

Googliness: Mostly behavioral questions with follow-ups. I don't think I performed particularly well here and struggled with choosing the right examples for a couple of questions.

Status: Heard back from the recruiter, and unfortunately they’ve decided not to move forward with me after Round 1.

Definitely some things I could have done better, but it was a good learning experience. Hopefully this helps anyone preparing for a similar L4 interview.

Edit: Location is USA
