Google Early Career VO: Tree Radius, Unspecified DP, and Conflict-Focused BQ

Role: Software Engineer, New Grad / Early Career
Result: Final outcome not disclosed
Report time: October 2024

After passing the OA, the candidate attended a recruiter session explaining the interview format. The virtual onsite contained two coding rounds and one behavioral round.

Coding round 1

A standard tree problem described as a variation of maximum radius, solved with DFS. The exact radius definition, input, and output were not preserved.

Coding round 2

An unnamed dynamic-programming problem. The candidate completed the base implementation, dry-ran a test case, and discussed a follow-up but ran out of time before implementing it.

Neither technical prompt has enough detail for an exact practice link.

Behavioral interview

The questions differed from Amazon's style and focused heavily on conflict scenarios. The source does not preserve individual wording.

The candidate said recruiter outreach arrived roughly three to four weeks after the OA.
