It was a 3 round interview process with 2 technical rounds and 1 HR round. I was mostly asked DSA focused questions. Trees, heap, graphs and sliding window were mostly stressed for me.

Question 1
Trees, heap, graphs and sliding window were mostly stressed for me.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at YouTube in Feb 2020
Interview
5 interviews and lunch. 4 Technical interviews and 1 soft skills interview. The bar is really high. I solved all problems with minor hints and still didn't pass. The feedback was I was weak in datastructures. It was my first time interviewing with them.

Question 1
4 coding interviews where you are asked to solve a problem. You need to come up with data structure and algorithm best suited for the problem.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at YouTube in Oct 2024
Interview
Long and slow. There were four rounds of interviews spanning over a month and they don't get back to you quickly. The interviews themselves were ok and took an hour each.
The interview process was demanding as they asked several questions about my masters degree thesis and on my research projects, which were challenging to remember as I had done these more than 7 years ago.
