The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Jun 2010
Interview
2 phone interviews (one with programming questions) followed by an on-site interview with 6 different folks.
These interviews mostly consisted of problem solving (math or programming, some algorithm understanding, etc.). Lunch was good. Apparently I scored really well on the interview, but they declined to make me an offer because there were no relevant openings at that time. Then why bother interviewing me???
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
How would you analyze a video clip to determine if it was shot by an amateur or a professional?
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
