Appin CoImbatore :: Google Interview

How to Prepare for Google Interview
There are two types of interviews in Google hiring process. Between each round, we gather feedback from your interviewers and determine next steps.
How it works
Phone/Hangout interviews
During phone or Google Hangout interviews, you’ll speak with a potential peer or manager.
For software engineering roles, your phone/Hangout discussion will last between 30 and 60 minutes. When answering coding questions, you’ll talk through your thought process while writing code in a Google Doc that you’ll share with your interviewer. We recommend using a hands-free headset or speakerphone so you can type freely.
For all other roles, your phone/Hangout discussion will last between 30 and 45 minutes. Be prepared for behavioral, hypothetical, or case-based questions that cover your role-related knowledge.
Onsite interviews
You'll usually meet with four Googlers—some potential teammates and some cross-functional—for about 30 to 45 minutes each.
For software engineering candidates, we want to understand your coding skills and technical areas of expertise, including tools or programming languages and general knowledge on topics like data structures and algorithms. There's generally some back and forth in these discussions, just like there is on the job, because we like to push each other's thinking and learn about different approaches. So be prepared to talk through your solutions in depth. Push your own boundaries and find the best answer—that’s probably how you work anyway.
For candidates outside of engineering, you’ll have the chance to highlight strengths in four different areas:
·         General cognitive ability: We ask open-ended questions to learn how you approach and solve problems. And there’s no one right answer—your ability to explain your thought process and how you use data to inform decisions is what’s most important.
·         Leadership: Be prepared to discuss how you have used your communication and decision-making skills to mobilize others. This might be by stepping up to a leadership role at work or with an organization, or by helping a team succeed even when you weren’t officially the leader.
·         Role-related knowledge: We’re interested in how your individual strengths combine with your experience to drive impact. We don’t just look for how you can contribute today, but how you can grow into different roles—including ones that haven’t even been invented yet.
·         Googleyness: Share how you work individually and on a team, how you help others, how you navigate ambiguity, and how you push yourself to grow outside of your comfort zone.
Throughout the interview process, feel free to ask your interviewers for clarification to make sure you fully understand their questions. And feel free to interview us, too. Ask questions—about the work, about the team, about the culture—that will help you decide whether the job will be right for you.
How to prepare
Interviews for software engineering and technical roles
·         Interview prep: A while back, two Google engineers recorded a Hangout on Air on our technical interviews, including interview preparation, working through a sample question, and an example solution.



·         Coding practice: You can find sample coding questions on sites like LeetCode, CodeLab, Quora, and Stack Overflow. The book “Cracking the Coding Interview” is also a good resource.

Interviews for non-technical roles
Here’s advice straight from Laszlo Bock, Google SVP of People Operations.
·         Predict the future: You can anticipate 90% of the interview questions you’re going to get. “Why do you want this job?” “What’s a tough problem you’ve solved?” If you can’t think of any, Google “most common interview questions.” Write down the top 20 questions you think you’ll get.
·         Plan: For every question on your list, write down your answer. That will help them stick in your brain, which is important because you want your answers to be automatic.
·         Have a backup plan: Actually, for every question, write down THREE answers. Why three? You need to have a different, equally good answer for every question because the first interviewer might not like your story. You want the next interviewer to hear a different story and become your advocate.
·         Be data-driven: Every question should be answered with a story that demonstrates you can do what you’re being asked about. “How do you lead?” should be answered with “I’m a collaborative/decisive/whatever leader. Let me tell you about the time I … ”
·         Practice: Everyone gets better with practice. Practice your interview answers—out loud—until you can tell each story clearly and concisely.

Almost ready? Here are a few last things you may want to know, based on what people often ask recruiters.
·         How to structure your interview answers: When answering questions, it’s important to show how you arrive at a solution, so think out loud.
·         Helpful questions to think about as you prepare: How do you work best, as an individual and as part of a team? What challenges have you faced at school or at work and how did you work through them? Which of your skills or experiences would be assets in the role and why?
·         Ask your interviewers for clarification if you don’t understand a question and feel free to take the time you need with responses.

Getting started with the Raspberry Pi 3 :: Appin Coimbatore Embedded Systems

How to get set up and use everyone's favourite tiny computer
pi guide featured image
The Raspberry Pi computer was designed to get more people into computer sciences but it’s also hugely popular with DIY modders and robotics enthusiasts. The Pi can run your smarthome appliances, it can power remote control vehicles, and it can be a media centre to stream all your favourite content. We recently reviewed the 64-bit Raspberry Pi 3 and the verdict is that the newest model is a capable computer in its own right too.
Whatever you want to use the Pi for, you’ll need to buy a few items and download the right files so it all goes smoothly. There are a lot of different Pi boards, operating systems, and peripherals out there so we’re here to simplify the process and give you the tips to get your Pi up and running perfectly. If you’re getting started with the Raspberry Pi, this guide should be all you need.

What do you need?

We’re going to assume you’re buying the latest and greatest model: the Raspberry Pi 3. The older models are the same size but are much slower and lack integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. There’s also a smaller Pi Zero that’s good for some DIY projects but not as powerful a computer.
The Pi 3 itself costs around £30. A case for the Pi is optional but recommended to keep it clean (this one is our favourite). The Pi doesn’t actually have its own storage; there’s no hard drive. You need to buy a micro SD card if you haven’t got one lying around. At least 8GB is best but larger cards can be used. This will be where you install the operating system and keep all your own files when using the Pi. After that all you really need is a power supply, HDMI cable, keyboard and mouse.
If you want to keep things very simple, you can buy a starter kit for around £50 that includes the Pi, a case, the power supply and the micro SD card with NOOBS pre-installed.

NOOBS?

Your Raspberry Pi needs an operating system and there are a few available. The best for most people is Raspbian, a flavour of Linux specifically designed for the Raspberry Pi. We recommend this operating system and it’s easy to install. Just download the latest version (Raspbian Jessie) and unzip the contents onto a formatted micro SD card. We recommend SD Formatter 4.0 for emptying your card and getting it ready for the Pi.
If you buy the starter kit then the SD card will come with NOOBS, which is an easy setup wizard that gives you a number of operating systems to choose from. When you start up the Pi you can select Raspbian or any other OS to install it. NOOBS is for noobs and it’s great. If you want to download NOOBS and put it on an empty SD card,you can get the files here.

Setting up the Pi

So you have all the bits and bobs you need including a micro SD card containing Raspbian or another operating system. Now it’s time to start plugging everything in. Slide the SD card into the card port on the underside of the Pi. Make sure it’s all the way in.
The Pi has a bunch of ports on top for things like camera modules but around the sides you’ll find very familiar options for USB, ethernet, audio, and HDMI. Connect the Pi up to an HDMI monitor and plug the keyboard and mouse into the USB ports. This is what it should look like if you aren’t using a case to hide everything:
IMG_0752
Now all you need to do is connect the power supply to turn it on. The Pi doesn’t have a power button so you have to turn the plug off at the mains or remove the power cord from the Pi itself. Obviously save what you’re doing if turning it off. The Pi will immediately start up upon receiving power and go through its normal booting process. If you’re using NOOBS, a simple menu will ask which OS you want to install. The installation process can take a while but you don’t need to do anything. Go and have a coffee. And some raspberry pie.
Once installed, the operating system will launch normally. In previous versions of Raspbian, the Pi would launch to a command-line interface by default and you had to type commands to enter the more familiar graphical user interface (GUI) that feels like Windows and OSX. Now the GUI is default so you’ll see a desktop with icons and menus before you know it. There’s even a recycle bin. Congratulations, you’ve put together and turned on a Raspberry Pi. Let’s get acquainted with the software.

Exploring Raspbian

Jessie (the different versions of Raspbian are named after Toy Story characters) is a very friendly OS and comes with useful software to make the Pi 3 a practical computer straight away. The menu at the top is much like the taskbar at the bottom of a Windows desktop and it has its own Start button of sorts where you can access installed applications. Also on the taskbar you’ll find the time and a handy eject button for safely removing USB drives. Always use it!
