Best Websites To Prepare For Google Interview
Google Interview Questions 2018
There are quite a few things you need to prepare for a phone interview with Google. In general, it's similar with preparing for an on-site interview since most of the questions are expected to be the same.
- Spend enough time on data structure and algorithms. This is the #1 thing for all kinds of software engineer interviews. Make sure you are very familiar with those basic stuffs like binary tree, linked list, sorting algorithms, etc., and also be fast at estimating efficiency of your code because most of the interviewers will ask time/space complexity of your code.
- Practicing writing code on Google Doc. Phone interviews with Google require you to write solid code on a Google Doc; it might seem easy at first glance, but once you try it, you'll miss your favorite text editor or IDE so much! There's no indentation, syntax highlight, or auto completion. I'd suggest you at least write some code on Google Doc to get you familiar with it.
- Practice with real interview questions for Google. Since you already have a target, it isn't hard for you to get some real questions from past Google interviews. You can get countless Google interview questions online (like http://www.glassdoor.com). The point here is not to expect having the same question in your interview (though it's possible), but to get an idea about what kind of questions Google likes to ask, how difficult it is in general, and find out your weak points. For instance, if you keep failing on binary tree questions, you should go check your textbook and do some Google searches about it.
- Practice with mock interviews. It's a great experience for you to practice in a way where you can't fail. You can do this with your friends and interview them back. I also got my mock interview from http://www.gainlo.co, whose interviewers are working at Google,
Facebook , and many similar companies and gave me tons of feedback.
- What is the best way to prepare for a phone interview with Google for a software engineering position? Originally appeared on Quora: the knowledge sharing network where compelling questions are.
- The bottom line is, if you go to an interview at any software company, you should plan for the contingency that you might get genuinely unlucky, and wind up with one or more people from your Interview Anti-Loop on your interview loop. If this happens, you will struggle, then be told that you were not a fit at this time, and then you will feel bad.
At the end of this video, you will know which sites are the best to prepare from for the aptitude rounds, technical rounds, Group Discussions and Interview rounds.
Personally, mock interview is the most effective approach I've ever had because you will have a totally different feeling when thinking and solving problems in front of a person. You'll be nervous, and you may fail even at the simplest task. In short, phone interviews are expected to be a little bit easier, so don't be nervous and do spend enough time on basic data structure and algorithms.
