My google phone interview experience for Software Engineer
In this video, I am sharing my google phone interview. Google interviews for Software Development engineering are always tricky. Unfortunately, I failed these interviews, but it is always good to share your failure so that you and other people can learn and improve yourself.

Facebook, Google, Amazon, Microsoft wants you to follow a specific format for a resume to get shortlisted. It is really important to follow that format for the initial selection. Follow the video as well the resume guide from Google and Facebook.

Educative is only reading material, no videos .. don't buy
Suggest one which is good in c++?
C++ not sure. But I think you should not go for C++. Pick up a simple language like python for interviews.
I have my Google phone screening Interview in 10 days can you please suggest me list of questions to prepare for it please.
You can prepare anything from medium to hard. Dfs, Bfs, trees, bst. The questions in Google are tricky so no matter what you prepare, the main thing is you have to find the logic on your own.
In Google they are looking for problem solver. So first 10 min discuss with him the problem. Conversation is important.
How did the interview go brother?
Thanks for the vid :)
Thanks for the recommendations man!
This guy is confused himself and I thought he will remove my doubt
That's why he is working in one of Mfangg and you are not 🤪. Start with leet code and then you can decide on your own which one is better.
So, here is a quick tip, the interviewer must have found that it was not solvable under the stipulated time, and thus chose to ask that to see if you have done your research, Had you encountered that similar question on the Web, you would have rebutted saying *hey look I know it's not possible, but i am willing to take the challenge together and see how close we can come to find the answer within the time frame.* That my friend should have been your answer. Nothing is straightforward in the FAANG / MAANG interview everything is Jalebi.
I completely agree with your answer. Now working in one of these companies, I am able to understand his motive behind that question. And in real life this is how the problems are in any company. You will have very less idea about the task you will be working on and you have to learn to explore and solve it together. thanks for your comment.
if anyone wants techinterviewpro let me know. bought this in 2019, never went through with it
was it a cord-tree?
I don't think so.
TOO MUCH USE OF "FOR SURE" BUT GREAT CONTENT
Good video. I’m new the subscriber 691.
Haha.... Looks like I need to start adding new videos. Thank you
Interviewers are not perfect they choose their own questions often times picking questions which they know the solution of but also know they couldn't solve themselves if they were in the same position...it's impostor syndrome
Agree.
Hello. Very informative. You may have heard about Interview kickstart. What are your views about their course structure and do you think it is worth it?
If you can afford then its pretty Good. Its subjective and indivisual choice. if 2.5L Inr just peanuts for you.
Informative, btw what camera you're using?
Canon Eos R. With Canon 15-35 rf lense
💯
Watching this, waiting for my second rejection haha
Thanks it's very helpful
Welcome
All are expensive untill you don't know how to hack them. LOL
Thanks for the share.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Just for curiosity, I need to know how many hard questions on leetcode you prepared before taking the interview?
Thank you for sharing your experience!
After how many days did you got rejection mail from Amazon?? After I attended Hiring manager ROUND for QAE role, I didn't got any reply from the HR
I got it within 15 days
Hi @Rohit what was the ask in HM round as QAE? And Did you attend Bar raiser too? And your experience?? Kindly reply.
Bro have you given interview?
Nice try!
Accept own rejection and told other platforms need lot of courage. I must it give me a huge insight, what we have to do during interview, Can you tell me what a kind behavioral question asked, What we have to answer for behavioral question
Mostly related to work. For example what projects I worked on and difficulties I faced and using that they will ask another follow up question. Decision making. It's all related to principles.
@@thesiliconstreet Now, which company did you join?
you say "aaa" a alot while speaking...It is a bit annoying
I agree. Will try to reduce that.
At least them called you to say something, in my case they never called me, it was a waste of time to lose 5 days to prepare that interview.
Yeah I agree. But don't take it as waste of time. It will help you in the future interviews.
mhm but system design question is so much easier than actual coding question!
Haha yes
System is much harder for senior positions. And there is no right or wrong answer as well.
Thank you very much for this video, it is really helpful! I am struggling with the question of how/where to start? I do not possess any skills needed by the FAANG companies. I am in a completely different backend stream in I.T. for a long time. If I need to start which would be the skill I need to begin learning? I am basically looking for your idea, appreciate your help! The interview process seems to be the middle step provided you already have the skill for the job position, hence I need to start from scratch!
For Fang companies it's quite straight forward - first thing is your resume it should match with the job you are applying for - assuming you have passed this initial step next is data structures and algorithm. Pick up any language you are comfortable with I will suggest use Python but if you like other language use that one. Learn the core concepts object oriented principles and basics should be done in 3-4 hours but will need some time to get used to it. Next is learn the basics of data structures don't need to go too much in depth just basics are important. Then start solving questions on leetcode. Start from easy then also try to learn the multiple solutions given in there so you know what you are doing. Learn from mistakes and there are some questions with multiple solutions try to learn all of them. Also try to learn time and space complexity.
@@thesiliconstreet Wow that is a lighting fast response! Thank you one last question, so far when I interviewed people or when I attended interviews for the position I am looking for, first question they ask for is “what is your total experience in your skill set, normally companies look for 5-6 years at least!” In my case I am just a beginner(0 exp), so wouldn’t that knock me out in the screening itself?
You need to try to convince them. Convert your previous experience into a convincing answer that will show them that your skills are relevant. For example if I worked as a data entry clerk I will try to match the Ms excel data entry skills to data science. For that you need to have knowledge of both sides. It all depends upon how you market yourself and if they ask you questions you should be able to answer them.
@@thesiliconstreet awesome thank you very much for this! It is really helpful!
I gave AMAZON interview 7 months before. Didn’t do well and got rejected. Again attended it this month and did all the programs all the behavioural questions really well but still got rejected. I don’t think it’s just the result of the interview they are also looking for background, college etc. or May be the interviewer feedback depends on their mood that day. I think I am done with Amazon. It’s waste of time.
I think there are many factors involved in it. Sometimes the internal transfer candidate is more preferred over external and sometimes it's just luck. Don't give up keep practicing and apply other companies as well.
I can relate to what happen to you man, my interviewer was typing and not seem paying much attention he even told me that he didn't read my resume !!! Not sure what is going on over there
Yeah 😅
helpful content bro but, maybe next time don't try the accent it's off-putting and feels fake.
I agree Anubhav that Indians using accent always sounds fake and sometimes even worst 😂 I agree completely but you know we have to create videos for vast majority of audience so they mostly look for American accent as they can understand it. Also in this video I was unknowingly using accent may be because I don't even realized until someone pointed it out.
I completely disagree love the intro in native English. In general foreign accents can distracting except maybe French people speaking English that’s ultra cool (fyi I dislike my own accent). And please don’t use the “it’s nothing but” in future. It’s so overused. Just added my sub! You’ll be at 1,000 subs soon !!
So, after all Amazon interview is all about cramming leetcode questions :) No creativity at all I think.
Yes. There is always a debate about leetcode vs another way to interview but in my opinion leet code kind of questions are the best way to interview. There are many things a interviewer can find out about the candidate when solving these questions. Even if the candidate knows the answer interviewer will know it and he will try to ask different questions.
I just failed my Google phone screen interview. The problem was medium difficulty at most, and I felt that my solution was good, so I was surprised not to hear back from my recruiter, so I pinged her about a week after the interview and she confirmed that I'd failed. Not only that, she preemptively said that she could not provide feedback regarding what I did right or wrong. I genuinely don't know what I did wrong, no clue. I keep thinking over my memory of the problem statement to see if there was a more efficient solution, but can't come up with anything better.
Yes. It happens. Also recruiters cannot share the feedback as people can argue with them about the solution. I would suggest do some mock interviews then you will know where you might have made mistakes. Sometimes we don't know what mistakes we make.
Wtf why were you looking at another screen during the interview when you muted by mistake... Even after you explained I feel like you were cheating somehow, I feel the interviewer
I agree but lesson learned hard way. Mistakes happen.
How did you plan your prep from scratch to complete it in one month for telephone Interview ? Could you please tell how many problems and from where you have solved in that one month. Thank you!
For my first Google phone interview I did the 1 month practice which is not sufficient and I have solved 100+ problems from leetcode which includes easy and some medium. For second attempt which is after 2 years I think, I already solved around 200-300 problems which includes more of Medium and hard questions.
@@thesiliconstreet Awesome!
Hello, awesome video thank you for sharing your experience with us. I wanted to apply as an intern to FAANG as a grad student in Comp Sci, my undergrad was in Computer engineering. Do you think that's a smart strategy as compared to applying after graduation from a graduate program? TL;DR should I apply as an intern in a grad program or should I apply to FAANG after graduating from comp sci grad program? Thank you!
Applying will not hurt so I will say keep applying for internship if you get it is good either way. This is because companies convert can also offer full-time job after internship. If you couldn't get internship then you can always apply through new graduate program. This is really important because if you don't take advantage of both internship or new grad then you will have to prepare very hard for interviews later.
@@thesiliconstreet Thank you for your reply. I appreciate the guidance. Have an awesome day!
One question, after getting rejected at any FAANG like companies when can you apply again for the same position? I have completed my online assessment but I have a feeling I have not prepared much and might fail so asking 😣
Hi Alex. It varies company to company. If it's Microsoft you can get interview after 90 days. Sometimes if there is a different team you can get interview in 1 month also. For Google I think it's 1 year. Facebook I am not sure. The best way to get your answer is asking recruiter. I will say don't give up and keep applying.
@@thesiliconstreet Actually I just get mails from Amazon student program about the hiring no phone calls till now...so even when I mailed them no one replied
Yeah I agree. Happened to me as well. Amazon can take sometimes 1 year to reapply.
Thanks for sharing your experience. :) Anyone here with SDET2 interview experience?
Could I ask you what was that question like? The one you couldn't solve? At least what topic.
Sorry I can't but you can always checkout the leetcode top x company questions
@@thesiliconstreet Understood! Thanks for quick reply anyway and thank you for sharing your experience!
This was useful. I really appreciate the insights.
Thanks 😇
Have you got telephonic round interview call from outside india Google recruitment team?
Hi Neha. Yes.
Thanks for being honest and sharing your experience. I just gave an onsite interview at amazon for sde ii today. I felt the interview went well. It was a 4 hrs interview. I managed to do the systems design, coding and behavioral questions. The questions I was asked to code are pretty easy compared to the leetcode hard level questions. The challenge is understanding vague problems they throw at you. But, they are all helpful if you ask for clarification or requirements. My advice is do not assume just ask for clarification. I will also have onsite interview with google in two weeks. Please wish me good luck
Best of luck to you. I was finally able to crack the Fangm interview and you too can. Hope you can get it 😇
@@thesiliconstreet Oh good to hear that & 🙏
Please share some updates on the interview 😉
algo expert good for python ... educative io good for java
Agree ✌🏻
Thanks for sharing your experience. It was very helpful!
Welcome 😇
Bhai I have given interview on 23rd March but did not got any email yet. Does that mean I am rejected. Do they send rejection email?
Wait at least for 1-2 weeks for the results. I got mine after 1 week. If you think you did well then you will get it. If you are curious you can always ask your hr
Thanks for sharing your experience
Always welcome 😇
You’ll thank the interviewer that didn’t let u pass. Amazon is NOT the place to be in
I agree. I am thankful to them haha.
well done
Thanks
12:17 not listening to “like 5 min” I call bullshit on the whole thing, solves 250 leetcode but not smart enough to realize a 5 min mute I’m out
Yeah. I agree. That's not smart move but trust me when you are in the pressure of interview this can happen. I will say I was dumb at that movement 😂. But anyways finally I am in a Fangm company so past mistakes are forgiven.
"Didn't got" is one the major things you didn't get in
I got it finally
