I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Google (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2010
Interview
Was great Phone interview, really liked the interviewer - In person interview was not very impressive. If only they could stress on what exactly they were looking in my skills vs. keep on agreeing with me with what I was talking that would be helpful.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Really can not disclose any questions due to NDA. But a hint! Heap DataStructure is more important than most of us think of!
The interviewer was very nice, one interviewer didn't show up so I rescheduled it. When I didn't come up with the best solution, the interveiwer was very patient and give me hint as many as possible
1 screening round + 3 onsite round
All rounds were focused on DSA that included topics like strings, linked list, heap and dynamic programming. Screening round had 2 questions on qualifying which I was eligible for onsite and Googliness rounds. The whole process took nearlying 2.5 months
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Google (Bengaluru) in Apr 2026
Interview
Very competitive process which requires hard work and good preparation. DSA questions and real life problems divided into 4-5 rounds of interview including HR, Technical, Hiring manager rounds. Onsite interviews are going on
