The process is insanely long. I applied in October, received coding challenge in early November, received an interview at the end of November. I passed HC in mid-January and got to the project search stage. I have been in this stage for almost two months and no host reached out. I am still waiting, but I am actively looking for backups now. Overall a good experience. I had two interviews back to back, and both interviewers are nice, giving me hints when I did something wrong. For one of the interviews, I had time to ask questions about the internship and Google in general.
As expected from a Google interview, it consists of a phone interview and a technical interview. In my opinion, with the skill level Google is looking for, the interview is fair and accurately tests the ability of a candidate. I imagine the interview for full-time positions is harder, but as an intern, I felt that it was the right amount of difficulty and complexity.
there is no online assessment, very simple phone call, then two technicals. technicals are not difficult by any means. then you get put into team matching, after a couple months
I applied online. I interviewed at Google (Sydney) in Jun 2026
