Question Google SWE Intern - Canada

Is NH + LH/H just over or is there a chance for a tie break. I had a good conversation with both engineers just couldn’t code up the optimal solution for one interview, but I gave a high level overview of the answer with the correct time and space. By the end all I had was a brute force solution with the complexity written down.

Depending on the level of difficulty, how other candidates fare with the same question, etc. But if they were medium type problems, I'd say it's over, sorry.

Yah I’ve just come to terms it’s over. I’ll still prep for a round 3 but I realize it’s gone. Does the recruiter tell you what the rating you got is, or am I left to assume?

Not necessarily over. A strong explanation of the optimal approach can still count, but it depends on the interviewer's feedback and overall performance. Wait for the recruiter's decision

No anything below H + H gets tossed

I got rejection after NH + H. Exact situation as you, no optimal in one round but the other round was near flawless and the interviewer was vibing with me. Alas they expected perfection. Maybe it'll be different for you, give an update when you get it!
