Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite segnalazione di un dipendente. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Google (Mumbai) nel mese di gen 2020
Colloquio
It was very unique experience which may happen in FAANG and they want to understand your way of thinking and problem solving skills.
I think if you know mathematics behind all concepts then you are good to go.
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
General Statistics
In what situation would you consider mean over median?
For sample size n, the margin of error is 3. How many more samples do we need to make the margin of error 0.3?
What is the assumption of error in linear regression? (Solution)
Given data from two product campaigns, how could you do an A/B test if we see a 3% increase for one product?
Statistical Probability
I have a deck and take one card at random. What is the probability you guess it right?
Explain a probability distribution that is not normal and how to apply that.
Given uniform distributions X and Y and the mean 0 and standard deviation 1 for both, what’s the probability of 2X > Y? (Solution)
There are four people in an elevator and four floors in a building. What’s the probability that each person gets off on a different floor?
Make an unfair coin fair. (Solution)
Machine Learning
If the labels are known in a clustering project, how would you evaluate the performance of the model?
Why use feature selection? (Solution)
If two predictors are highly correlated, what is the effect on the coefficients in the logistic regression? What are the confidence intervals of the coefficients?
What is the difference between K-mean and EM?
When using a Gaussian mixture model, how do you know it is applicable?
It was all good, the interviewer was very nice. Technical questions were a bit challenging but overall it was good. The hiring manager was looking for some hands on experience
Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Google (Mountain View, CA) nel mese di apr 2026
Colloquio
Got email from the HR and scheduled 2 virtual onsite interviews. It went well. I went through another 3 rounds of VO. My packet was submitted to the committee. They do not like it and gave me another round of VO. In the 6th round VO, my application got rejected. It was a total waste of time for everyone.
