Interview
Interview started with a brief introduction of yourself. Only DSA questions(2-3 depending on difficulty of the questions). They can ask about projects. We need to tell the most optimized method for all the questions.

Question 1
Graph(N*M grid problem) Tree traversal(recursive dfs) 2 pointers
As expected from a Google interview, it consists of a phone interview and a technical interview. In my opinion, with the skill level Google is looking for, the interview is fair and accurately tests the ability of a candidate. I imagine the interview for full-time positions is harder, but as an intern, I felt that it was the right amount of difficulty and complexity.
there is no online assessment, very simple phone call, then two technicals. technicals are not difficult by any means. then you get put into team matching, after a couple months
