J'ai passé un entretien chez Google (Londres, Angleterre) en août 2024
Entretien
Phone call with a recruiter followed by a coding interviews. Did not make it past that stage. The question I got was quite difficult and I did come up with a non optimal algorithm but that was not enough.

Question 1
Given a matrix of 1’s and 0’s, where 1’s represent land and 0’s represent water, find the number of islands
First there is a technical interview, focused on your programming skills then a cultural one focused on you fitting into their workplace. Overall the interview is of an average difficulty and it is ok to say that you don't know something

Question 1
There was a question regarding a python based matrix
The whole interview process, from application to last interview took almost 3 months, including recruiter screen, techncial (coding) screen (the hardest for me) and the last round with 3 coding and a behaviroral one. All the interviewers where nice. I was told a month later that I had passed.
But I'm stuck in team matching, and there are very few openings. Even if you pass the interviews you're not guaranteed the job, so don't go for this option if you're actively looking for a job, it will crush your soul.
I had 2 interview phases. In the first phase I had 1 online technical interview. In the second phase I had 4 online interviews: 1 soft skill and 3 technical interviews. In order to receive an offer you need to have 4 successful interviews

Question 1
Mostly LeetCode problems, so strong data structure and algorithm knowledge is required.
