Google Phone Screen Interview
Summary
I had a phone screen interview with Google where I was asked a Data Structures & Algorithms question and a system design follow-up. I received positive feedback and moved to the on-site round, eventually receiving a down-leveled offer.
Full Experience
I was asked the question to count the number of steps to reach 1 by following the Collatz sequence. That's it only one question. Follow up was about writing it as a scalable system, handling overflows, and kind of like a low level system design. Feedback: moving to the on-site Update: I eventually had the onsite, but got down levelled. I don't know if I will yet take the offer or not. Will share the details separately
