Interview
In the interview, candidates answered questions confidently, showcasing their skills. The atmosphere was professional, and both parties engaged in meaningful dialogue. Overall good atmosphere. Recruiter sent links, interviewer was helpful when stuck.

Interview
I applied for SW Intern (includes various locations) and got response within a week. I first got a coding test with one easy and one hard(dynamic programming) question. Then moved to the first interview. It was algorithmic and ds interview. It was my first interview ever and that too at Google. So I was a little nervous. I told this to the recruiter who probably told this to my interviewee who was very polite and made sure that I was comfortable. The questions were hot hard as I had prepared decently (but probably not enough). One little piece of advice: Make sure when you are practicing algorithms make sure you have the practice of speaking put loud which we generally do inside our brain. And then in the interview it feels like extra work and distracting to speak out loud while you are trying your best to concentrate on the solving the problem. So practice speaking what you are thinking. Unfortunately, I got rejection on phone within 1 week after the first interview and they told me to apply again when I graduate. They also gave me access to Google student learning programs that had explanations gor all the algorithms and data structures. This made me really happy.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
First : Basic algorithm question (but little tricky) Second: Medium Array question
OA first, medium level questions, then schedule phone interview, intro, coding, and QA. The coding is easy, but ask to optimize. QA is you need to prepare questions to ask.
