Google L4 Journey

Hi, I'm currently in the interview process for Google L4.

Applied (T0)

After each round, I've received email from the recruiter that the round went positive.

Phone Screen (T + 7days)

Recruiter said: Positive
I say: Strong Hire (Maybe its just yes/no for phone screen. It was a question involving Dijkstra algo)

Onsite Round 1 - DSA (T + 38days)

Recruiter said: Positive
I say: Strong Hire (Came up with most optimal sol, modular code, interviewer was happy. Question was around identifying binary search space and finding the most optimal value)

Onsite Round 2 - DSA (T + 42days)

Recruiter said: Positive
I say: Strong Hire (1 Medium + 1 Follow up around hashmap, explained and coded. 1 Hard involving topological sort & minimum time to complete tasks with constraints. Explained and coded and was almost out of time towards the end due to number of questions but the interviewer was very satisfied)

Onsite Round 3 - Googleyness & Leadership (T + 43days)

Recruiter said: Positive
I say: Strong Hire (Interviewer was in a good mood. Told me he wanted me to pass. Asked me 5-6 behavioural questions. I had prepared well, so answered them & he was responding well with my responses. Post interview, he closed the laptop and we chatted for about 20 minutes around our past experiences)

Onsite Round 4 - DSA (T + 50days)

Recruiter said: Positive
I say: Strong Hire. What a streak in my mind 🤯. The question was similar to lowest k elements in a sorted row and column matrix with a few follow ups.

Team Fit Call (T + 59days)

Recruiter said: Good Match
I say: Good match. Had a call with hiring manager for the team I was being considered for. At the end of the call, manager said its a good match directly to me. After an hour, recruiter delivered the same feedback and they're moving with getting all the approvals.

Offer Rollout (T + 68days)

Recruiter said: Congratulations!
I said: Thank you!
