YOE : 10month at service based company
Role: full stack engineer

A recruiter contacted me a few months ago and inquired about my background and my position in the company. The recruiter inquired about my availability for a phone screen interview. I took three week to prepare. The recruiter gave me the preparation materials and also some references for my preparation. After three week, my interview was scheduled.

**Phone Screen (Technical Interview): **

It was started with the small introduction. The interviewer asked two questions:

  • It was simple matrix based question. Easily solved by traverse on the matrix.
  • The second question was similar to https://leetcode.com/problems/jump-game/description/

Round 1 (Technical Interview):
The question was https://leetcode.com/discuss/interview-experience/5500213/Google-Phone-Screen-or-Jul-2024. I explained the approach with the interviewer but was not able to code it due to time constraint.

**Round 2 (Technical Interview): **
The question was https://leetcode.com/discuss/interview-question/1682632/google-phone-screen-number-of-islands-in-a-tree . And there was also one follow up.
Was able to solved both the questions and discussed the time and space complexity.

Round 3 (Technical Interview):
The question was same as https://leetcode.com/discuss/interview-experience/4745235/Google-L4-Screening-round and there was one more follow question. We discussed the approach of all question but was able to code only two question.

Round 4 (Googlyness) :
Standard behavioural questions.

Verdict : positive for Phone Screen and round 1 and for last three, the result is pending.
