I applied online. The process took 11 months. I interviewed at Google in Jun 2021
Interview
After an initial coding exercise, I was interviewed by two different engineers over a Google Meet call. The coding exercise is not hard, just to screen candidates that are going to be interviewed later. Each call lasted 45 minutes (about 5 min to introduce to each other and maybe ask some questions about the company/the interviewer's role) and then 40 for the actual problem. I has a 15 min break between both calls.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Two different technical questions (Leet Code type)
It was decent. had 3 rounds of interview. 2 technical one behavioural. Also a phone screening. The interviews were more difficult as you kept going. All happened online and I was allowed to use any language that i wanted
Did not get an invite for the 2nd interview. I was qualified for the role, but was ghosted for about 6 months before being rejected. But, the application process was nice, and gave me hope!
It was interesting to see the way that the team was able to make the candidates more comfortable. The process was fast and interesting in order to make the candidate feel more relaxed
