I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Google (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2023
Interview
Contacted by a recruiter then straight to OA. I got two medium questions one was similar to Longest Consecutive Sequence LC and I do not remember the other one but it was easier. From there I moved onto the next round which was the final interviews. First interviewer was super nice and helpful and the other was rushing and kind of careless

Question 1
I had two 1 hour interviews. One was a very vague array question and you had to ask clarifying questions like input type, return type, overflow errors, etc. The other was an adjacency list DFS
It was an okay interview, some complex questions but expected of a company of this rank. Very friendly interviewers who take their time with during an interview; willing to repeat stuff if necessary.
