!process got cooked Google R1

[sick raven]

how bad

[faint parcel]

got the brute force and edge cases instantly, spent 30 minutes trying multiple approaches, found an optimal approach, dry ran the example on my optimal approach (was a bit iffy though as I was low on time)

[timber ibex]

Was it a lc hard question would u say maybe then you could be fine. Also did u ask for hints or nah

[sick raven]

not cooked, def passable

[faint parcel]

it was def an lc hard

the interviewer did acknowledge that I was on the right track, but I wasn't able to code up the optimal solution

[sick raven]

if its lc hard fs then ur prob alr

did u kill behavioral

[faint parcel]

yeah I rizzed up my behavioral interviewer so bad

[sick raven]

[placid parrot]

You should be fine if it was an lc hard lol, especially considering the behavioral went well

What was the behavioural like tho?

[faint parcel]

just regular behavioral problems, kinda aligned with their principles

[faint parcel]

hopefully, if they insta reject me over this imma kms

[placid parrot]

For specifics regarding their principles/values, I just see this: https://about.google/company-info/commitments/

Is that what you're talking about?

[placid parrot]

Praying for you lol

[subtle stirrup]

@faint parcel what do u recommend for prep, mine is tm

[faint parcel]

it is pretty rng, just do every question in nc150, and hope that you don't get hit with a lc hard in 30 minutes

[faint parcel]

I didn't ask for a hint, as I heard it might be an immediate markdown on their rubric, but ymmv

[sick raven]

i mean in interviews its back and forth tho. you present approach and ask for feedback

if its a markdown thats wild

[faint parcel]

yeah, but explicitly asking for help I think

[spare quail]

nc 150 > tagged?

[faint parcel]

fs

[cursive meteor]

what was the q

[opal mural]

wait it's not 45 mins? 💀

[civic valley]

How are the google interviewers? Do they control how you do the implementation or do they jsut sit there and just watch you type?

[forest pagoda]

hey anyone recently gave the interview? which topics are they asking more? last time I gave it was more of graphs, dfs/bfs and linked lists..

[tired swift]

do u have to dry run or can u immediately code it

[clear breach]

my interviewer took any hour with me so I could finish the problem. Is it cooked?

[cursive meteor]

can someone drop the qs they got

[near star]
