I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Toronto, ON) in Feb 2022
Interview
Recruiter reached out for an SDE opportunity.
First round was nothing really special but phone screening by recruiter.
Second round was 45 technical screening by one of the engineers. Mid level Leetcode type question and became hard level for the follow up question.
I was able to provide solution for the initial question but went out of time for the follow up question.
Eventually, was not able to proceed to final interview.
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
