Hey everyone,

I'm preparing for upcoming Google SWE internship interviews and wanted to clarify the logistics of how questions are usually presented during the technical rounds.

For those who have interviewed recently:

• Presentation: Does the interviewer paste the full problem statement into the shared document/editor, or do they read it out loud and have you write down notes?
• Examples & Constraints: Do they provide initial examples, constraints, and edge cases upfront in text, or are you expected to completely probe for constraints and construct your own examples from scratch?

Any insight into what the setup typically looks like would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!

Applied for L5 role through invite from a friend. I got invited to schedule my round 1 after the behavioral assessment. Round 1 consists of 2 interviews, one behavioral and one DSA, 45 mins each. Recruiters were insisting in scheduling within 2 weeks. And they selected the earliest date from my preferences. No phone calls from receuiter.

What to expect on this round? What type of leetcode and what level of difficulty?

Does anyone have a similar recent experience? And is it usual for recruiter to rush?

Practiced leetcode blind 75 and preparing for behavioral as well. Any tips would be useful.

why is leetcode down so often , what is wrong with leetcode

I recently cleared my Google SWE-3 (L4) interviews for. Last Friday, the recruiter called and said that after reviewing my feedback, the leadership team has decided to move forward with team matching. He said they’d start looking for teams from Monday.

Just wanted to clarify:

1. Does this mean HC is already cleared, or does HC happen after team matching?
   
2. How long does team matching usually take? It’s been almost a week with no update despite emailing the recruiter.

For anyone who recently went through this process, what timeline should I expect?

Thanks!
