During my Google interview for the junior role, the focus was on practical problem-solving and foundational knowledge. I was asked to debug a REST API endpoint with authentication issues, implement an in-place linked list reversal, and discuss how I’d design a small but scalable feature for Google Maps. The interviewers emphasized clean code, efficiency, and clear communication of my thought process. While challenging, it was a great learning experience that highlighted the importance of both technical skills and collaborative problem-solving.
